Hello, all! I hope everyone is doing well amid the COVID-19 outbreak. I would like your help! I am currently debating between two options: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign & University of Arizona in Tucson. I currently live in Orange County, CA, which makes both options very affordable considering that I plan to live on stipends. Any insights on both programs/cities? I would appreciate any opinion on academics and cost of living, or any relevant info that you could share. I am a Venezuelan individual seeking to start an MA in Hispanic Linguistics. Thank you in advance! (Me estoy volviendo loco en esto de decidir, así que aprecio muchísimo cualquier opinión) Danny.

Hello! I am still waiting for UIUC, but I have seen a couple of people reporting admission already. I emailed them asking for status about a week ago, but got no reply. Any thoughts? UIUC is my top choice. I got admitted at University of Arizona, and still waiting for Syracuse U.
