U.V.M !!!!!

I'll start UVM's program this summer and out of all the schools I looked at/applied to, UVM was the clear front-runner. If you're looking for a program with a strong alumni base, dedicated focus to social justice, and with a plethora of assistantships UVM is a program you should apply to.
Of course I'm biased now that I've committed to the program, but it's arguably the best HESA program that I've encountered. Maryland College-Park would be my second recommendation, but it was a more research/PhD focused program and that was a huge turnoff for me.

This might sound crazy, but disregard those rankings! There isn't an online list of the top programs.
Student Affairs is a very tight-knit field, and you'll go farther based off your experiences and networking, more so than the rankings from a company where schools can "buy" their way into top slots (looking at US News Rankings).
From my research, the better schools for a master in Student Affairs or Higher Education include: University of Maryland - College Park, University of Vermont, Michigan State University, Bowling Green, Colorado State University, UCONN, and Indiana or The Ohio State (one of those red ones, I can't remember which). That's in no specific order - but your own list will develop its own order after you talk with the program and current grads.
Good luck!
