Manhattan is divided into these neat identical blocks, right? How big are they each? I assumed that I could get a place about 10 blocks away from my campus and walk everyday, but a friend told me that's impossible! Of course, she could just be pointing out my lack of fitness

So now it's down to two schools for me, but the more I research about them the more confused I get. I've listed out the factors I'm considering and the weight (1-5) I assign to each of them, but it would really help me if you would add some more factors I forgot to include or to give more/less weight to certain factors. LOCATION (4): CUNY is in NYC which means more internships + great experience overall VS Medill is in Evanston, Chicago COST (3): CUNY costs around $50,000++ VS Medill costs $80,000++ CURRICULUM (5): Both are exciting, but CUNY has interesting international reporting stream VS Medill has the magazine Innovation project LENGTH (4): CUNY is 1 1/2 years VS Medill is 1 year REPUTATION (5): CUNY is a new school VS Medill is well established and highly regarded in the journalism world SCHOLARSHIP (3): CUNY offered me $8000 scholarship VS Medill offered nothing INTERNSHIP (5): CUNY requires summer internship and I might be able to do internships during school semesters too VS Medill offers the Chicago or Washington newsroom. FACULTY (4): Both are equally good in my opinion... Mostly practitioners and people attuned to what's happening in the media industry. PEOPLE (2): CUNY people seem eager to have me there VS Medill people sound nonchalant CAREER OPPORTUNITY (5): CUNY is a new school so people might be curious about it... VS Medill graduates are well known in the industry, I'd assume. I have a severe case of wanting everything (but don't we all?). Thanks for any input!
