I'm not fond of driving either. And yup, as an undergrad student, I can tell you don't need a car here - BC has a shuttle to the D line which is much faster than taking the B line (the stop near campus). And if you want to live near campus, you can take the T to get groceries, etc.

That's good to know! I'm not a Mass resident, but I can look into Salem State. I don't know much about the area, though. I applied to schools in cities because I don't have my license (hopefully I will soon, but I wouldn't have a car). Salem State seems like a good match for you!

Hi everyone! I got into Fordham yesterday, and also received only $2,000 in aid.

I'm having trouble with it as well. I'll already have loans from undergrad, so I want to minimize debt as much as possible. I'm kind of wishing I had better guidance on finding programs with good aid, I pretty much applied on my own.

Hi everyone! My name is Tara and I'm a current BC student who applied to Simmons and is waiting to hear back, and is about to apply to BC. I'm from NY and got into Fordham today (with minimal aid) and am waiting to hear back from Hunter. Right now, Hunter is my top choice! I really like BC (since I'm an undergrad here, it would be really familiar) and Simmons, but my decision would really depend on financial aid/scholarships. Is there anyone else on this thread getting an MSW right from undergrad? Does anyone happen to know more about aid at Fordham as well? I only got $2,000 per year. Thanks! -Tara

I'm from NY and got into Fordham today (with minimal aid) and am waiting to hear back from Hunter. I'm worried that I'm applying to BC too late, even though the deadline is March 1st and it's not rolling admissions. Since I'm coming right out of undergrad, I really can't afford BC or Simmons without a scholarship. Congrats to everyone in this thread! -Tara
