Thank you so much! I always heard that people in Atlanta are very nice. ? I may move to Atlanta because my boyfriend is applying for Ph.D. in Gatech, and I also think it is a wonderful city! I'm considering finding a job there after finishing MSW. I saw people on the Internet saying that there are a lot of active NGOs focusing on nature protection in Atlanta. I'm pretty interested in that field. Do you know anything about that?

Thanks so much! That was very helpful. To be honest, I am not 100 percent sure about which area I would like to focus on later, I have a little experience before but not very systematic. It seems like clinical social worker is more likely to find a job in America for a foreigner... If I could have opportunities to study on a topic I interested in, I think research is also a nice option. I explored the curriculum of the two and I found a course especially attracting me in Umich named Animal Assisted Therapy Interventions, which they also arrange workshops on. However, it seems not a very popular area. In case there are fellows know about this, please leave a comment!

Greetings to all! I'm an international applicant to MSW 2020 fall. I'm lucky to be accepted by ColumbiaU and Umich, and I'm struggling to choose from them. I cannot go on a campus visit due to this epidemic. As I search through the Internet, I really feel comfortable with the atmosphere and culture in Umich, as well as the environment in Ann Arbor. However, ColumbiaU is one of a kind throughout the world with a famous Ivy title. It is really hard for me to let it go. Moreover, as MSW students we must go to field study. I'm kind of worrying about the NYC Metro if we need to take it every day... Because I'm an international student, there are not very large differences between the two concerning money issues, and I didn't receive financial aids either. After graduation, I'm planning to work in western America or Atlanta, so I may not stay at either Michigan or New York... So any ideas for my situation? Thanks a lot!
