Hi all, I am attending school this Fall and I am so confused with student loans. I have been offered two different types, a Direct Unsubsidized Loan and a Direct Graduate PLUS loan. Does anybody have any insight as to the differences between the loans? or which loan I should exhaust first? Any information would be so helpful!! Thanks!!

Does anybody know anything about the program up at Western Washington other then what is online? Any insight would be super helpful!

Hi I was just wondering if anybody knows anything about the program at Western Washington? I am on the wait list but don't know too much about the program. Any information would be very much appreciated!

Hey Speech Path Girl, I did my undergrad as a speech and hearing science major at ASU. I enjoyed all of my professors and many of them are super kind and helpful. I also attended the open house at ASU and it ended with students and faculty going to a mexican restaurant and drinking beers together, so it seems the professors are pretty laid back. Classes are held in the same location as the speech and hearing clinic....and the glass building is pretty amazing! it is probably less than 10 years old and in great condition. It seems that the program has more professors that are work with children rather than adults. However, the students and the professors both said that one great thing about the program is the connections they have with so many different hospitals/schools/clinics/etc. They said that they could get you into anywhere you would like to have an internship. If you aren't used to the summer (and fall and spring) heat, it can be quite brutal. However, I remember having to bring a jacket to class because they cranked the AC all day! Overall, ASU is an amazing school, the program is highly ranked, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time as a speech and hearing science undergrad. I am accepted as well and the only reason I haven't accepted yet is because I am not wanting to leave Washington and am still considering Western Washington.
