I was accepted to grad school this year after applying for the second time. I was accepted to three programs and decided to commit to an in-state school since it was way cheaper than the other programs and all the programs offered what I was looking for. I had an incredibly hard time deciding because I really wanted to experience living somewhere completely different instead of moving about two hours away. However, since I will be saving a lot of money I decided I wanted to put that money aside to travel. I would love to be able to travel to a place where I would also be able to volunteer or work. The program I committed to does not offer summer classes, so I was wondering if anyone knew of any volunteer opportunities that are not in North America? I remember seeing one I was interested in that was in Costa Rica while I was doing my undergrad, but I don't know how reputable it is. Also, does anyone know of any possible abroad volunteer/job opportunities that are offered once I graduate and I am an SLP? Thank you

Thank you for the recommendations! I was leaning toward Queens and Brooklyn since they seem like they have more exciting things to do. I have no problem dealing with driving and traffic since I have lived in Southern California my whole life. That is awesome you got into a program here. I have lived here my entire life and applied to several programs here but got denied/wait listed to all of them. They are very hard to get into and you should be proud you got in! Feel free to ask me any questions you have about Southern California as well.

I was accepted to LIU-Post and I will most likely be accepting my offer. I live in California and I am still waiting to hear back from CSUN, but if I do not get in there I will be accepting the offer from LIU. I am excited to move across the country, but since I have only been to New York once I am unaware of where a good place to live is. I have looked at rentals around the school a little bit on Zillow, but they are very expensive. I was wondering if I would be crazy to live in Queens or Brooklyn and commute. I just wanted to get a head start, so I can start planning. I am hoping to start a Facebook page or join one as soon as I 100% commit to LIU-post, so I can find out where people tend to live that go to LIU.
