Hello All, having just went through the cycling last year. I thought I could be of help to some of you. If you want further details feel free to message me.
What areyour particular research interests?
Suny Albany has undergone quite some academic changes, I would say their notoriety is on the decline (if that's what your interested in)
Temple is a great school especially if you like urban life and applied research. However, the program is 7 years. U decide if it's worth the trade off
UP Irvine is great on paper and they have alot of funding. They seem more interested in developing scholars for R1 institutions. Very good for neighborhood and Corrections work. However, very expensive and "Stepford Wivesy"
Rutgers was always one of my top favs! Urban life, really relaxed faculty, close enough to NYC if you're into that, good grasp of both qual/quant work, both policy and research based, and how cool is it to have Maruna as your Dean!
FSU is an all boys club to say the least, and they give out very little funding. South Florida very little funding as well.
Okay folks,
Hope I helped! Good Luck!
