Come on y'all. He's asking for options. Let's give him a hand. For example, some prospective graduate students have felt pulled to pursue a MFA in Puppetry Arts

Thanks for the information statsgirl4! Did you live in Manhattan valley? Are there any tips that you would give us about Columbia in general?

@DanioMasher- Pathobiology sounds cool! Do you already know what you focus is going to be? Global health is interesting to me and I'm hoping to be able to work on mosquito vector related side projects if my time allows me. @doobiebrothers- Did you get to visit the Jewish and seminary housing units? I wish I would have visited some of the housing areas while I was in NYC. That's one of my only regrets hahaha. Granted, at that point I was dubious about the probability of acceptance @caitylaurel- One of my former roommates specialized in Chinese! She actually inspired me to start seriously learning Japanese on my own. What inspired you to pursue East Asian Languages and Cultures, if you don't mind my asking? @Secumax852- Yeah, I see what you mean. I'm pretty open to wherever at this point only because I've been living on the West Coast all my life haha. But that's awesome that the G.I. Bill will give you some good housing coverage! Thanks for your (your family's?) service!

I can relate. One school sent me a rejection email and then mailed me a hard copy of the rejection, ya know, just in case I had any lingering hope hahaha! Accurate

I'm 25 now. I'll be 27 by the end of the program.

Right? I've heard many a sad story about apartment hunting, NYC prices, new roommate drama--the works. Surprisingly, they haven't dampered my excitement. I've already sent in my UAH application since it seems to be super competitive for Master's students. What boroughs, UAH communities, etc are you guys looking at/favoring? I really like International House (if I could get in). The Arbor also looks good. But if UAH housing didn't work out, I'd probably be open to most boroughs. Washington Heights is pretty attractive to me as well. Also, has anyone gotten their UNI yet?

I'm joining the Conservation Biology MA program
