I am a California resident who is primarily interested in Community and Economic Development. (I have very little professional experience, so I would like a well-rounded program where I can explore other interests as well.) I was accepted to UCLA, Rutgers, and UPenn for City Planning Masters programs. I think that I can do UCLA and Rutgers (cheaper than UCLA for me) with minimal debt. UPenn gave me money to cover 1/4 of tuition; I would have to get loans for about 80k (including living expenses). I'm looking for advice on: the quality of the programs in preparing you for practice name prestige/power of the schools (Would Rutgers or UCLA limit me more to jobs in the NE or West respectively?) UPenn's program is housed in the Design school - Would I get a rigorous policy based education? (I am not very interested in design.) size and feel of the programs accessibility of the professors Thanks!
