Thanks for your replies. I visited the school back in the fall and felt safe. I wouldn't want to live in the neighborhood but I think like you said, as long as you are smart, you should be fine. The disorganization part scares me a little bit since I'd have to deal with the financial aid office a lot I'm sure. I've also heard it's really research heavy as opposed to clinical. Does your friend see that? Great to hear she has a good supervisor. Seems like that can make a big difference. It was originally my first choice mainly for personal reasons. I'm from suburban Philadelphia so I'd be near family and if I want to live there in the future, I figure it'd be easiest to go to school there.
