Hopeful of a Great Career

Hi, I'm thinking about applying for the MSW or the MSW/JD program at Stony Brook University. I am also thinking about applying to the MSW program at NYU and possibly Hunter. I already have about $30,000+ worth of loans and I am terrified of accumulating more debt, though I currently have no choice. Can anyone shed some light on these programs? What are the course loads like? Expectations? As I am the first person I know to go to Grad school, this is all new to me. Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance.
