So I've been looking at stethoscopes because I'm going to be entering into a nursing program soon and figured it would probably be a good idea to have one. Anyway I was wondering if anyone had a favorite brand that they like a lot for comfort and good quality (but not extremely expensive). I've been looking at ADC and 3M littmann, but i'm open to just about anything!

Buy a decent Littman for around $50 or less at most uniform stores. You get what you pay for. Non-name brand scopes are junk and have lousy acoustics. And they quickly fall apart and end up in the parts drawer at your house.

I 2nd Mr. Brown's comment. I have a Littman cardiology II that I did pay a pretty penny for but it was well worth every penny!
