  1. Thank you so much! There are definitely some similarities between the two programs, and they're both good programs, so I can't really go wrong. I'm still leaning toward UO but haven't made a FINAL decision, so I'll let you know if that changes! I have a friend in the Eastern SLP program and she's pretty great, so I already know you'll be in good company
  2. It was good! The facilities are beautiful and everyone seems super friendly and supportive. That seems like good reasoning to me! It seems logical to choose the program that is more affordable when you'll be getting the same degree in the end anyway. I'm actually leaning toward UO, though...definitely goes against the logical side of my brain. But it's closer to friends and family, I wouldn't have to drive over the mountains to visit home (like I would if I was in Spokane), wouldn't have to deal with as much snow, and I think I'd like living in Eugene. Meeting some of the faculty, current grad students, and prospective students probably influenced my train of thought as well, though! I wish I had time to visit WSU, but it is what it is. I'm excited for you!
  3. Awesome! I feel the same way. I figure I can live anywhere for a couple years, and I'll probably be too busy for it to REALLY make a difference. So I'm trying not to dwell too much on location. I love hearing others' perspectives, so thank you
  4. Thank you for giving me your perspective! So helpful. You get the struggle. I haven't had the chance to visit either campus, but I'm planning on going to the visiting day this Friday. Unfortunately I don't think I'll have time to see the WSU campus before making my decision. I have a friend in the Eastern program who has talked the EWU/WSU program up significantly, though! And I really enjoyed the small interactions I had with the two professors who conducted my interview. I think I would be happy in either program as well! At this point the main pros and cons influencing my decision are tuition/cost of living and location. I don't know enough about either program to actually compare them. I obviously have some researching to do in the next couple weeks haha. What are your pros and cons?
  5. I definitely have no desire to be in Pullman. WSU's SLP program is in Spokane...still not ideal, but I'd definitely take it over Pullman. Part of me thinks I shouldn't dwell on the town the programs are in since I'll probably be too busy to really explore the area TOO much anyway, but it sounds like location has had a huge impact on your experiences! What did you enjoy about Eugene?
  6. Hey y'all! I am lucky enough to have choices as to where I go to grad school in the fall, but I'm trying to gather information before making a decision. Can anyone give me a little more insight into the programs at UO and WSU? Does anyone know how these programs compare? Or is anyone familiar with Spokane and Eugene and able to give me more information about the areas? My heart is leaning toward UO, mostly because it's a little closer to my family. However, I'm a Washington resident, so WSU would be WAY cheaper for me. Of course it depends from person to person, and there are many factors involved...but for you personally, would you take the cheaper offer no matter what?
  7. Yes! I got an email yesterday saying I was accepted!
  8. I appreciate your advice and input, @Syc93! I found out today that I was accepted!
  9. That's super helpful! Thank you so much. That gives me a better idea of how to prepare. I'm nervous about any questions related to clinical situations. I'm a postbac student so this is only my second quarter of studying speech and hearing sciences, and none of my courses from last quarter talked about those kind of clinical situations (it was mostly just phonetics, A&P, language development, etc). So I guess I'll have to do a little research! I'm glad you made it through your interview! Bet that's a relief. I can't wait until tomorrow night when I don't have to worry about any more interviews!
  10. Hey y'all! I have an interview with WSU in a couple days and am curious... For anyone who has already interviewed with them, how did it go? Were the questions mostly personal, or were there some clinically-based ones slipped in there? Just trying to mentally prepare!
