Hi everyone! I'm currently trying to decide between an NYU master's in history ($60,000 just for tuition plus the cost of living in NYC) and another master's program that is not as good and not as good a fit for my interests (20th century German intellectual history), but is giving me a full ride and a stipend. I plan on going on for a PhD after my MA. Everyone I know is pushing NYU simply because its a better program and fits my interests better but not going into debt for my master's is really appealing. Can anyone with any experience at NYU's history MA give me any advice? Do you think your master's at NYU was worth it? Did it get you into the PhD program you wanted?
