Yup exactly what lifesaver said and I happen to be more right-leaning than most as well, so I get it and know I am exposing myself a little as well. My advice, and i'm sorry this may come off snarly on the internet, is to get over it and grow thick skin. Social policy class is not like the other social work classes we take where feelings are talked about.

I also couldn't find anything on Ways of Knowing... I assume we will hear more details at orientation. Maggie.... The lead time for finding a nyc apt is very short. I may suggest you find somewhere temporary end of July so you can then look to move in immediately. Good luck! Also, don't wire any money or anything like that until you see the apart,nets with your own eyes. Lots of scams.

For the record, I was 1000000 percent positive I would not be getting into Hunter, and kept telling my friends and family if I got in I'd be an idiot to turn the offer down.

Natalie, After speaking with and reading so many comments on here from current and former students (and a professor who has remained anonymous on grad cafe) it is clear to me that it really doesn't matter where you go to school in the end. Cost is the biggest factor for me, and while I am lucky and have saved over the years in order to afford higher education, I would rather not spend it all at a school that has a better title simply because of that. Sure, when I was a high school student I dreamt of going to NYU but didn't get in, but now as an adult, I can surely visit that area of the city on my own and get the same education at Hunter. Furthermore, we spend more than half our time in internships where we will likely be amongst other students from the surrounding universities. This means I'd be paying less money per credit hour for the same internship a student from NYU, Columbia or Fordham, have. Many professors overlap at all the schools or have taught at different schools at different times. According to several former students, the curriculum is the same everywhere. I will say that class size is important to me, and I feel this may be a disadvantage of attending Hunter. Additionally, I can already tell there's a lot of red tape at Hunter in getting simple things accomplished in terms of the enrollment process alone, but this is he type of experience, while frustrating, that I will be facing as a social worker. Better get used to it now! Let me say, this is strictly my opinion and I hope to not offend anyone. I'm excited and I hope everyone here has a positive experience.

Can someone tell me how health insurance works when we are enrolled in school full time? This might be a really stupid questions …. Tomorrow is my last day at my job and I'm taking the summer off before school starts, so I need to make sure I figure out health coverage from now until then, and if I enroll in whatever Hunter offers … Thanks in advance!

Annabannana I will be there too!

I'm going to the session on the 29th too. As per the above comment, these run arounds were the types of negative things I had heard about hunter. Not a lot of direction, but I'm willing to do what it takes to figure things out.... Seems like good preparation for a career in social work, actually..... Lots of red tape and run arounds.....

I found out last night around 10. You probably will hear very get soon!! Hang tight!

Got my NYU email an hour ago. Very excited!!

Anyone interviewing with Hunter tomorrow??

I called today and they said everyone will know by the 25th.

I am waiting on NYU too This waiting process is painful!!
