Hi! Looking for opinions about MPP/MPA options at the Goldman School, the Ford School, and at NYU Wagner. Would love to hear different pros/cons!
About me:
Have been working in affordable housing in Pittsburgh for about four years, and would hope to continue housing policy work in grad school
Ideally looking for a cohort of smart, experienced peers to gain insights from
Likely want to return to local government after graduation
Looking for a "meaty" program (i.e. rigorous)
I went to Wagner's open house and didn't necessarily love it (seemed like they were really trying to sell a brand w/o much depth), but liked how it was housed alongside the MUP program
Moneywise -- Goldman (0, but could be cheaper if I teach/establish CA residency), Ford ($), Wagner ($)
Don't have a strong preference to end up anywhere in particular, but would likely be on either of the coasts following graduation
Any insights would be appreciated!
