I'm in a really similar boat right now, devynlyn! My heart is torn between NPSIA, and IHEID in Geneva. Both really, really great programs. IHEID didn't offer me any funding, and while the tuition there is very low, the cost of living expenses in Switzerland for two years would put me in some pretty serious debt. NPSIA, on the other hand, offered me a TA position which means I'd be in a pretty decent financial situation in Ottawa. So... glamour, or sensibleness? I'm sure the opportunities are amazing either way!
