  1. I am currently attending Eastern Michigan University in the educational leadership-higher education, student affairs program. I also applied to Buffalo State, DePaul, Portland State University and St. Cloud State University

    Great! I might be going to EMU so I hope to stay as close as possible and to the west of the university. Thanks!

    Hi! Basically, I see Ypsilanti grouped with Detroit and Ann Arbor so it is a little confusing to try and look up very much information on it. Seems like a small town vibe with Ann Arbor only being a bus ride (I assume) away. Do you feel safe there? Is there very much to do? I don't mean crazy concerts or anything but maybe fun festivals or do people generally leave to go to the bigger cities on the weekends? I lived in Corvallis, OR for the last three years and it remained around 55,000 people but had a good amount of things to do. I won't be able to visit unfortunately so gotta scrounge for the info where I can. Thanks so much! Oh, did you like EMU? What was your program of study?

    Can I know what you have heard about Ypsilanti?
  7. In the US News and World Report Grad School Issue, they have some of the acceptance ratings and GRE statistics. Not all inclusive but that is the best I have found so far. I just hope they are semi-close to the real information!
  8. Okay, here is the deal with me: Started this wild idea of wanting to be an academic advisor and would love to go to grad school and gain experience and the beginning of a career. My GPA isn't great, taking the GRE in the next few weeks, have three letters of recommendation lined up, and working on my various SOPs. I want to get into a decent school but since I know I have no shot at an amazing school, I am aiming for great, solid programs in places that I would like to live. The programs I am looking at need to have assistantships/internships, varied class topics, mid-level out-of-state tuition (at most) and be relatively affordable to live in the area. My two top choices are University of WI-La Crosse and Buffalo State University. Random? I live near Portland State University but their program does not excite me. Any sort of advisement about getting a degree in Higher Education Administration, College Personnel, and/or Student Affairs? I am the only one I know who is doing the "grad school' thing and as of right now I am unemployed and trying to narrow down possibilities so that I can apply and not waste other peoples' time or my money. I also know realistically the earliest deadlines I can do is Feb 1st, which has taken a few schools out of the running for me. GREATLY appreciate any advice or website to refer me to. I have already looked up the NASPA and NACADA for resources as well.
