Thanks for the response! Makes me feel more comfortable leaning towards GMU even though Albany will be more affordable, as out-of-state. I agree, being in D.C. will put me in a better position for work, even with all the other students. Also, I'm getting the impression from people that the winter weather in upstate NY is unacceptable... I guess being from CA seeing it on the news doesn't help much. Thanks for your help Quarex!

Hello, This is my first time posting here. Was hoping if anyone has any thoughts on SUNY Albany or George Mason for MPA? From what I've been reading here they are not exactly the prestigious schools people have been talking about, so not sure if anyone has any info., but I would really appreciate it. I'll be going from CA and can't decide. Tuition in SUNY for out of state will be about $10,500 and GM about $20,500. I've interned in DC as an undergrad and feel it offers more opportunities (non-profit / federal), but thought maybe there's just as valuable opportunities in Albany? I REALLY appreciate any feedback. Thank you! Also, I'm assuming it would be more competitive in D.C., being amongst the higher ranked grads?
