thanks for replying @Kesler! i definitely have a few questions haha (i've got 2 days to decide ahaskjbajbf)....
what reasons, in the end, swayed you towards choosing hunter over columbia?
if you had all the money in the world and you didn't have to take finances into account, would you still have chosen hunter? or would you have chosen columbia?
like you, i'm not sure if i will stay in NYC forever (i'm actually pretty sure i won't), so my biggest concern with hunter is picking a school that might not "translate" in other states/countries opportunity-wise as much as columbia. any thoughts on this?
any info you might have on hunter's clinical track? i know it's more known for it's macro/social justice specialty, but i plan on doing clinical so (no worries if you're not clinical and don't have any insight on this though)
lastly, how is the silberman building as a campus? when i visited, i have to be honest, i wasn't wowed or attracted to the prospect of spending tons of time there, which i know is a superficial reason to pick a grad school, but i also wanna enjoy the place i'm gonna spend 2 years in! the area doesn't seem to have many places to, say, eat lunch or hang around or walk around. it also seemed like most students just to class and leave, like there's not much of a community or culture of making friends, which is important to me.
i appreciate your insight!
