Yikes! I figured it wasn't well known, but wow sounds worse than I thought lol I feel bad for your friend @kittythrones. Macaulay honors is actually a really hard school to get into and is rigorous, so thats shocking that they thought it was a joke. And @ERR_Alpha and @hj2012 thanks for the reassurance. was having second thoughts -- but I think I'm gonna stick with the money! Hopefully even if the name doesnt sway people, maybe my clinical placements and my residency in different places in Manhattan it would make them think more highly of me.

bumping this up

Hi guys, I was wondering what people outside of New York and New Jersey thought about CUNY & SUNY schools, and what reputations these schools have. Or do people even know they exist?! I know it varies by program and school, so I guess you can use your program as reference when answering this question. I'm asking because two of my three choices are CUNY/SUNY schools and I will attend for financial reasons versus other more known schools, and my worry is that the name isn't known to get me far if I decide to leave NYC.

Not on a resume! GPA should suffice

Why does everyone hate Nickelback?

That was going to be a gift to my self when I graduated my undergrad! /traɪˈʌmfənt/ But, I'm deciding to hold off on it once I get my AuD, since it will feel more deserved haha

Jamaica, West Indies

I've been living here all my life, minus the 4 years I went away for undergrad. To be honest, it is really, really expensive to live here. Especially if you choose to live in certain parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn. However with that said, if it is really your dream to live out here - go for it. Many people make that huge jump everyday, so why not you? It will take some hard work if you do not have your family's support. You may need multiple jobs to support yourself. But if you can move in with your friend until you get on your feet go for it! Also, as an FYI - NYC isn't all as glamorous as people make it out to be. So just keep that in mind, don't want you to be disappointed by all the expectations you might have. But on the other hand, it is one of the greatest places on earth in many different aspects.

I loveee sound wave tattoo's. You can get a loved one to say a phase and get the tattoo the of the wave form. Even though over time as the skin gets old and the tattoo spreads it may not look the best, the meanings are great. I love how discrete it is, yet it starts conversation. Like this one is of her son saying "I love you Mama"

IPA = International Phonetic Alphabet, basically its a system of writing that replicates how people sound out words. Used in my field of Audiology but mostly in Linguistics and Speech Language Pathology. It's not a hoppy beer

The movie Frozen. So over hyped for no reason. The story line was terrible.

Ughh, I hate that I can get into basically all the grad schools I applied for, but I can't land a simple part-time job. What part of the game is that?!

Yep, you are so right. Its gonna be a lot of going back and forth. Can't wait to see what we all decide!

Wow, thank you AuDCSL for the great info. I wish I could have went, sounds lovely! The office of Financial Aid sent their package, you got that right? It was all loans lol. You think the department itself will award scholarships and assistantships?

Peanut Butter. Just the smell of it makes me gag. Then the taste :shudders: Also, how everywhere in the country besides NYC puts mustard on your burger automatically. I never asked for it! So all during my undergrad in Ohio I kept forgetting to say no mustard, and I always remembered when it was too late. Yuck!

Did anyone go to the Rush open house? How was it?!

Yes! Welcome to the dark side.

YESSSS! I AM SUPER EXCITED FOR YOU!! Knew it would happen!

Soggy French fries are my favorite type of French fries!

THANK YOU! I don't understand what everyone loves about it

Drinking water. Sounds crazy, but I just can't. I only drink it when I work out -- that's about it.
