Hi all! I'm in my first year of my SLP masters at NYU, and I came from out of field so I still need to get my observation hours. I've been emailing schools and clinics throughout the city, but so far I haven't had any luck finding places that will let me do my observation hours. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice about possible places in the city where they did their hours or they know might be willing to let grad students observe sessions? Thanks so much, any help would be greatly appreciated!!! I've emailing for weeks now and have made almost no progress in finding anywhere...

Thanks so much to everyone for their responses! NYU is absurdly expensive, and it probably makes no sense to go the lower ranked school that's literally twice as much money, but I didn't feel prepared to accept UA after being given only a week to make the decision. I don't really know if I made the right choice or not and I'm still going back and forth in my mind, but ultimately I'm more excited about the research being done and the electives offered at NYU. Either way I would get a great education and from what I've seen almost all speech path programs have good job prospects, so I just have to trust that I made the right decision for me. Still, thanks for the advice, I really do appreciate it

Thanks Papaya! I feel like I would be happy either place, but I am from the East Coast and have always lived here, so NYU would most likely be a better fit. I would most likely want to work on the east coast as well after graduation. I guess I am wondering if my job prospects would be better after going to UA because it is such a fantastic program, or if I would get better training there.

Hey all, I was lucky enough to get into some great programs, and about a week ago I accepted my offer to attend to NYU. However, on Saturday I was admitted into University of Arizona with an out of state scholarship and now I don't know which to attend. I love both programs, but feel that they can both offer me different things. Arizona is more highly ranked and would be much less expensive (both in tuition and cost of living), but I was also very excited to live in New York City and to be closer to my family. I'm having a lot of trouble with the decision and any advice anyone could give would be very appreciated!
