I am trying to decide between Columbia's MA in Political Science and the MAPSS at Chicago. I hope to go to law school afterwards. There are quite a lot of reviews of MAPSS online but not that many of Columbia's MA in PolSci so I was just wondering if anyone who had done the program could share their thoughts on it. In particular: are MA students afforded good access to faculty? What is the student life there like? How harsh is the marking? A little info about me: I did my undergrad in Polsci & History at LSE & my field of interest in polsci is political theory.
