I've applied to Cal State Long Beach, Cal State LA, Cal State Northridge and Fullerton. I wondered if anybody could offer insight as to which are the better state MSW programs, if there are any that stand out, and if there are any to avoid! I am still waiting on UCLA, was accepted to USC (but I don't think I can stomach the price-tag, realistically), and if I am choosing among the (seemingly very similar) Cal State programs, I am unsure as to their reputations. Please advise if you can! And while I'm here, what are thoughts on whether USC is worth 82k for the alumni network/reputation factor?! (no doubt it is an excellent program). I have people tell me I am a) crazy to get in that much debt, crazy to turn down a place at USC! Thanks everybody! Congrats to all on your acceptances and good luck to those waiting!
