Hi everyone!
I'm in a bit of a pickle. I still haven't made a decision (shameful, I know) between Columbia Teachers College and NYU Steinhardt. I applied rather late to both schools. Both are for an MA in Teaching of English + Initial Cert.
Steinhardt has offered me a scholarship that comes out to about 40% of tuition (around 15k), while Teachers College has only given me a third of that. To attend either school, I am going to have to take out significant student loans.
I would like to eventually (not right away) go on to get my PhD as well so I am trying to make the best choice for both a future career and any future education.
Is Columbia worth the extra cost? Is one school significantly better than the other? Any other advice for me?
Thanks
