[Tuscaloosa, AL]

Considering grad school options between U Alabama Tuscaloosa and U Wisconsin Madison. Would really appreciate insight from those familiar with either or both, especially regarding racism and quality of life issues.

I am a little familiar as I know two people who went and applied. What's up?

I'm applying to Alabama's on campus program. Were your friends on campus students or online?

In this case, is UW the University of Washington or the University of Wisconsin?

So I've been accepted at all five schools I've applied to: University of Madison Wisconsin, Illinois Urbana Champaign, IU Bloomington, Louisiana State, and Syracuse University.

 

I was told by most there won't be funding decisions until beginning to mid-April, yet a few days ago I got an unexpected offer from LSU for a graduate assistantship position with full tuition waiver, $12,000 a year stipend, and health insurance. And, they are asking for a decision by March 25th.... meaning I need to tell them before I even know my other funding decisions.

 

Problem is... I don't want to go to LSU like I want to go to Illinois or Syracuse. They are better ranked by far, and the classes are more interesting and appealing to me. But at the same time, I am scared not to accept in case it's my best or only offer.

 

My question basically is this: What happens if I accept the position, sign the contract, then decide I don't want to enroll at that school and will enroll in another one? Does anyone have experience with this, or know in general?

 

Not sure what to do!!

Amanda - I'm applying to MLIS grad programs for fall 2018 and interested in which university you decided on and how your experience has been. So far I've been accepted by Wisconsin - Madison's on campus program, but waiting for funding info.
