Authorization

Is there anyone in this forum who has been through this program or knows anything about it? I was considering applying at some point following the eventual completion of my M.A. Was just curious what others might have to say about it for the sake of future reference.

I'm applying as well! Just need to get those pesky transcripts and letters of reference in order and I'll have a complete app. Unfortunately I don't have that much of a coherent study plan worked out in advance other than wanting to gain further foreign language competency - hopefully that won't be a problem on my application essays?

1. What program are you applying to (MA/PhD/Other) M.A. in Asian Studies *may ultimately use as a stepping stone to a PhD in History, Geography or Security Studies 2. Where are you applying or thinking of applying? FSU - recently accepted 3. Background information (undergrad, major, etcetc) B.S. in International Affairs, 3.8 upper division GPA 4. Fun fact unrelated to grad school My favorite junk food is pizza, my favorite band is Cold Cave, and (not entirely unrelated to grad school) I'm a huge caffeine addict.

Hello! Recently finished my B.S. in International Affairs at FSU and soon embarking on my journey towards an M.A. in Asian Studies (also from FSU). I've actually been living here a while (since before starting college actually), but I'm curious to hear news about student employment opportunities as well as about affordable housing for graduate students. In exchange, for those of you new to Tallahassee, I can tell you that the best restaurants in Tallahassee are without a doubt Super Perro's, Pho 7, Kool Beanz and Siam Sushi. If you want really good junk food, Gaines Street Pies. For bars, nothing beats Fermentation Lounge. A bit spendy but worth it for the environment and fun conversations with strangers. Most convenient coffee shops (not counting the two Starbucks on campus) in reach of campus are Atomic Coffee and The Sweet Shop (or FSU's best-kept secret, the Grindhouse cafe in the Student Life Center). All Saints Cafe is best if you're in more of an artsy mood though.
