Reheated french fries. I don't know why, but I just love them.

Why does law enforcement not take into consideration verbal harassment?? Just because the dude isn't beating you doesn't mean the harassment isn't real! UGHHHH I need to get out of this hellhole!

I've actually been debating on whether I want to, at some point, actually get a degree in marine biology on top of my psychology degrees. I'm also extremely interested in learning new languages, or enhancing my proficiency in Spanish and Mandarin. Who knows, maybe I'll end up being a scientist who studies the psychology of dolphins in China (bahaha).

I already know that I LOVE Edinburgh, so being able to live there would be fantastic. Thanks for the info! I was thinking that might be the case, I remember hearing that people often do their Masters as part of their undergrad degree when I first started looking at schools in the UK. I can't wait to start looking up some programs

One of my personal favorites when I tell people what my degree will be in (Developmental Psychopathology): "That's nice... what is that?" Or just getting blank looks. Or "So you're leaving the US forever? We'll never see you again?!?" Maybe, maybe not, I don't know at this point...

Hello! So I will be attending Durham University this autumn for a year, and I know because the programs are only a year long, I want to start looking into PhD programs as soon as I can. I don't know what Durham is like yet, but it is a dream of mine to go to the University of Edinburgh. I was wondering if something like that is possible/common or if people typically stick to the same Uni for both Masters and PhD?

I had just woken up and since it is always the first part of my routine to check my email, that's what I did. I could not believe that three days after finishing the application, I had been accepted to my first choice! I re-read the email 8 times to make sure I read it correctly and then I called pretty much everyone I knew to tell them the news!

Ugh me too... my fiancé just dumped me and now isn't telling me why. It was actually when I found out the day before I got accepted at a school, so I don't have that worry - even that didn't even help me feel better. UGH.

My school has the nickname of "St. C's" because of it's difficulty and anti-grade inflation policy, but I think the actual average GPA is around a 2.7 or so.

I've heard back from all but one school, and so far they have all been offer letters. Even without hearing from that school, I am already having difficulty deciding on which school I should attend. I'm making a pros and cons list to see if that'd help, but it seems like everything sort of balances out in end, at least to me. Any advice? School 1: Pros: top tier school program is exactly what I am looking for school itself is beautiful located in a small city guaranteed housing Cons: most expensive program city is most expensive to live in (of those on my list) accommodation far from academics (I have a busted ankle) School 2: Pros: located in a small city that I know well and love been to the school before well located I know I would enjoy the program least expensive cost-wise, already have some aid Cons: much lower ranking program isn't exactly what I a looking for not guaranteed housing I was wondering if I would just be settling for school 2 if I choose there because I am comfortable with the city and school, when I feel like the program at school 1 fits what I want better? I feel like I will get a great education at either school, but I feel like future prospects may be slightly better if I go to school one. This will all change if I get accepted to the school I am still waiting for, but I am just really conflicted about what to do right now.

Mine's sorta lame, it's basically just because I love traveling and can't stay in one place for too long! And I can't for the life of me upload an avatar, not sure why.

Hi there! While I'm not doing SLP, I have lived in the Boston my entered life (aside from undergrad) and it really is a fantastic place to be! If you're really concerned about the high cost, there are plenty of neighboring towns (also with phenomenal universities) that are not as expensive as say BU or Northeastern. If you are still considering a Boston school, what you could do it what many people I know do/did - live in an apartment outside of Boston and get ride the train in. Also, people around here have large houses that they have broken down into separate apartments that they often rent out to students so that might be another housing option. Another thing to look at if you haven't already would be to see if the programs are fully funded, a lot of Ph.D. programs in the area are if you get accepted (at least in Psychology and English they are). You can also contact the programs themselves to see what students typically do when it comes to costs. Best of luck with whatever you decide! Steph
