With mine last year, they all made funding offers a about 1-3 weeks after. The ones who didn't were kind of upfront in telling that they wern't going to offer any funding

I didn't really look into the blog at all actually lol. I'm just wondering what the next step is from CUNY.

Lived in: NYC , Columbus,OH and Jamaica Traveled to: Spain, Portugal, France, Brazil and Canada. I'm dyinggg to go to Italy! Honorable Mentions: South Korea, UK, Ghana, Mexico, Colombia & Australia

I'm a bit late, but awesomeee! You're the first I've seen also going to CUNY. To answer your question, no - I'm living at home.

YES. YES. YES. and for me BLT's and Bacon Egg and Cheese rolls from the bodega. The best.

CUNY Graduate Center! Nervously excited

Great idea!

I've been carrying a purse instead of a backpack to school since high school (since backpacks made me lean forward in my posture), and now I have a lovely bend in my spine to the side. Even when I stand up straight I'm lean - so I'm thinking for the first time in a long time I'll have a backpack again to counterbalance it. It seems either way I'm screwed. Maybe I need to drink more milk!

Well, I'm straight out of undergrad and going into my AuD program and location was very very important in choosing my schools. First of all, rural areas won't cut it. No matter how amazing the school is. If I am bored out of my mind for 4 years then I just can't do it. I won't be happy at all to do the work that would be required of me. For that alone, I declined two of my offers even though they are ranked much higher than my final choice. Maybe I'm really biased being from NY, but I just think that so much experiences come out of a city life and theres so much more stimulation. However on the flip side, it can be a distraction to your research if you are always trying to have fun.

Frequent naps. I'm sure it would be hard to come by in graduate school, but in undergrad it worked for me wonderfully. After ever class, I would go back to my room and take a nap right away. After I woke up I was always ready to do whatever, whether it be assignments, go to my job, read, study etc. Without it, I was like a cranky 3 year old dragging my feet. And of course exercising. I took up boxing for two years and with no surprise it does wonders for stress relief (and your body).

I got a bad taste in my mouth when my boyfriend in undergrad wanted me to transfer out to be closer with him. I put my foot down that I wouldn't and we broke up. After which, I enjoyed my experience in college WAY more. Now that I'm older, I don't know if I would make the same choice. I want to say yes, because I can't transfer schools with my major or start and stop. So if he couldn't wait for me for 4 years, then I guess it wasn't meant to be.
