Thanks for the insight!
That's great to hear. I'm definitely looking for that holistic positive experience rather than just a name, so hearing that the students seem genuinely happy is great. I'm going to accept.
What do you mean that "funding could scare"? Is this in the context of covering tuition or getting funding for research?
Also, did they speak about finding housing at all?
Hi themissingsock!
This will sound rather non-specific, but, what was your overall impression of the faculty and department? Did you get to talk to current students, and if so, what struck you from their experiences?
Hi everyone!
I'm pretty sure I'll be attending UT Austin's program in Educational Psychology. I've been offered a fellowship that waives out-of-state tuition and includes a $2000 award, and the program seems to be a great fit.
I'll probably turn down Harvard and UPenn, since their aid packages only made a small dent in the overall cost.
Hello!
Is anyone else considering the University of Texas at Austin? If so, have any of your visited the department in person? While I have yet to formally decide, I'm 90% sure I will accept their offer (over Harvard, UPenn, Washington, and Boulder) thanks to a fellowship that waives out-of-state tuition.
I would be attending the Master's program in Educational Psychology, specializing in Human Development, Culture, and Learning Sciences.
