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

Hey! Check out this topic as well - it has a super long list already

Approximately, yeah. Things move very quickly here

From what I understand about the NY housing market, you want to wait until you are about 4 weeks out from your move date to start apartment hunting. For $2000, you should be able to get a decent apartment (probably not right near NYU though).

Has anyone heard back from English Education @ Teachers College? They are my top choice and I'm getting antsy with nerves

Hi Peinture! If Art Ed is in the Steinhardt school, I contacted them yesterday and said we should hear about financial aid within the week I'm also waiting for (hopefully good) financial news. Hope that helps!

Hello, I've been accepted to NYU Steinhardt's Teaching and Learning program (Teaching of English MA) and have yet to hear back about scholarships and funding. I was wondering if anyone in the program or a similar program can speak to the funding offered MA students. Thanks!

Hi there! I was accepted to NYU Steinhardt (Teaching of English MA) but I'm not sure that I am going to attend yet. I would love to find others out there!

Intellectual_Lensings - Thank you! I was notified via email. Don't give up hope yet! My partner applied to the social studies program and hasn't heard back yet either (we are also trying to coordinate). Fingers crossed for both of you!

Hello there I've just been accepted to NYU Steinhardt's Teaching of English 7-12 (MA). I haven't decided yet if I am taking the offer (as I would like to hear about financial aid first) but are there others out there?
