Program:History: Latin America

Posted 28 February 2012 - 04:57 PM

Hi, all! I have a question on how to decide between programs. Here is my situation: I have been accepted to two programs, OSU and University of Texas El Paso for Latin American History PhD. Both have offered me the same stipend, health insurance, etc. Both have professors I would love to work with. I am now down to decided and having a bit of trouble. What else should I look for? Any opinions on the two schools? Really, any helpful comment is appreciated!

Application Season:Not Applicable

It might make more sense to post this in the history section, since there are lots of historians who regularly check there and probably know the programs pretty well. There is a thread on decisions that it probably makes sense to post this on. Just a thought!
