  1. I'm currently a student at NYU's social work program, and a Hunter graduate. If money isn't a concern for you, NYU would be great. I currently intern with Hunter students and the workload differs. I had way more papers than the Hunter students. NYU students are required to do a POPS project (create a new group or program at your internship) at their internships and write a paper about it, Hunter students do not do this. If you want to move out the country, or go to another state, my best bet is NYU, it's globally recognized and it's NYU! Highlights about NYU's MSW: 1. Professors are VERY clinical, many of them have extensive experience in the field 2. Bobst library is HUGE, you won't even have to buy books since most are on reserve and you can scan at anytime 3. Staff (especially field advisors) are very attentive to each student (Hunter isn't very good at this, they do one site visit and it's hard to reach your field advisor) 4. LOTS of professional development events 5. NYU has a Phi Alpha (Social Work Honor Society), Hunter does not (3.9 GPA or above to get in) 6. It's located in SOHO, which means lots of Chipotle and all the wonders of SOHO! 7. Alumni post jobs very often on the school's Facebook page (lots of networking) 8. NYU offers FLO's which lets you specialize in your field of interest (some FLOs offer PAID internships) 9. You can reject an internship if you don't like it (during the interview process) and move on to the next one (Hunter DOES NOT allow you to reject- wherever they place you is where you have to stay for a whole year) 10. NYU offers Professional Development trainings to alumni, you can even do your SIFI (to become a field instructor) at the school after you've graduated and obtained a LCSW CONS 1. Expensive (Hunter is half the price of NYU) 2. Sometimes the classrooms are crowded, the building is sort of vintage (Hunter has a new, modern, and bigger building) *** Hunter DOES NOT give out letter grades. You have to request them. They use a (Pass/Fail) rubric. NYU uses the traditional (A-F) grading rubric. Good Luck!!
