I received a last minute bump in my scholarship offer to an MPP program, making it about $10k cheaper than my other option. The other school I'm considering offers a dual MAIR/MPP program, but the MPP would take place abroad at another institution that would make its own determinations as to financial aid. Thus, I would essentially be leveraging an International Affairs department against a Public Policy department. Does anyone know whether this is considered the least bit ridiculous? Or should I go for it?

Faaaaaantastic!

Deciding between the Maxwell MAIR/MPP Atlantis program that would have me in Berlin for year 2 vs the Georgetown MPP program. The Atlantis program is relatively new, so I'm curious if anyone here has any personal experience or know someone who has. Weighing the pros and cons of each and really struggling to decide due to the vastly different nature of the two programs. Oddly, Syracuse has been no help, refusing to send me information on the program until next week (once decisions are in). Would really appreciate any insight from those familiar with the program.
