BunnyMeadows Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 will you be attending the full-time program in Columbia? I'm in town right now, and will be visiting campus while I'm here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BunnyMeadows Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Do you have your field placement all lined up? I took care of that while I was in town this last week so I'm all set. I also found an adorable rental house, met some cool people, and am impressed with Columbia. The campus is SO gorgeous, and everyone was so friendly, kind, and helpful. I can't wait to leave California and get back to SC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwatt008 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 That is awesome! I already sent the paper work for the field placement, so I guess I am all set. I can't wait to move to SC either! I think Columbia is a nice little college town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash_Smiles Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 This is so exciting!! I haven't been able to find anyone else who was accepted into the program at South Carolina. I got in Tennessee as well and they have given me access to blackboard, where many students are getting in touch with each other. But South Carolina doesn't have anything like that that I am aware of. Have you guys heard anything regarding financial aid? Scholarships? I was offered work study, but I'm really hoping to get an assistantship. And I'm so behind! I'm lagging on my placement paperwork, I'm going to go ahead and send it in this weekend. I also plan on attending the June 12th orientation if anyone else is going to that one. I'm so ready to meet people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunnyMeadows Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 Hi there - I was offered an assistantship a month ago (I applied for when I submitted my application for admission). It provides in-state tuition, and a small stipend, in exchange for 7.5 hours of work per week with a faculty or staff member. I was also offered loans. If you're in GA, you may qualify for tuition reciprocity (?) I suggest you get your field paperwork in asap - when I was there on Monday I was told that the sooner the better, because students admitted earlier have already done it. I plan to attend the 6/12 orientation, too. I am very energized by the department, the faculty I met, and the overall program. The dean is very hands-on, and makes herself available to students. In fact, here is Dean Anna Scheyett giving a TedX talk, "Social Workers as Superheroes": https://youtu.be/A27QjpQ_Ieo?list=PLsRNoUx8w3rPWs2Coobs858iEzbJwkG6w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
