anthsteph

I still have a full year and maymester of classes, but since my school isn't the best at letting us know what the next steps are, I figured I'd make a post here. Basically, I'm in the beginning stages of looking for graduate schools. The most important factors for me are 1.) a strong Anthropology program - I may be leaning toward a focus in museum studies, so that would be a bonus; 2.) a graduate school located in a city that supports non-drivers. This is huge for me! I currently live in Atlanta, and public transpo is practically nonexistent. I've been looking into New York City, Boston, and San Francisco as possible locations; 3.) programs that give a good deal of aid for those who demonstrate financial need. I have supported myself entirely since I turned 18 and have a single mother who could not and has not contributed at all to my education or housing. This is all fine and dandy, but obviously I'd like to have as little debt as possible, as we all would. Lately, I've been looking into the New School for Social Research, but I'm still veeeery early on in this process. Honestly, I'm not even entirely sure where my focus will be aside from the general massive Anth umbrella. I'd appreciate any thoughts from those of you who are further on in the process. I'm not completely sure what I should be doing at this stage to prepare. Thank you!
