Hi, y’all! Lurking here has been super helpful during the MSW application process. 
 
	 
 
	With that being said, I’m wondering if anyone has any experiences with the Smith MSW program in Northampton, MA.
 
	 
 
	I just got an email informing me of my acceptance with a $7000/yr. merit scholarship + $300/month living stipend. I may also be eligible for more need-based aid (does this mean loans, or could it be grants, too?); I will know when I get the official letter in the mail. 
 
	 
 
	Are these specs good for a program that’s $30,000/year? I also got into Springfield College, but with no aid.
 
	 
 
	Finally, I also applied to Westfield State. It’s incredibly cheap but I haven’t heard back from them yet, and I need to give Smith an answer by 2/20. Eek! Help!
 
	 
 
	TLDR; Any Smithies in the house???
