I am going to University of Iowa for a MA in French/Second Language Acquisition. This school was my first choice because when I went to visit, I fell in love with the nice faculty and really felt like it was where I belonged. I applied to only one other school, University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana, which turned me down. I was also going to apply to Madison, but when I visited, I didn't find the faculty friendly enough and I doubt I would have done any good work there.
