I'm not sure how to use the site yet, so please excuse anything that i am doing incorrectly.
I have been accepted to 2 MA programs in English literature: the university of louisiana at lafayette and the university of northern colorado. How do i choose between the two? I have a few friends in the area of colorado, but i am receiving some pressure from my advisor to attend ULL because he received his Doctoral degree from there. I am "first on the waiting list" for a graduate teaching assistantship at ULL, but i'm not sure about the funding at UNCO yet. At UNCO i have a roommate option, and i don't at ULL, but the lafayette area seems to have many more/affordable options for housing near campus that allows pets (i have a dog).
I'm not sure which is the better program, and they are relatively similar in size and pricing. So, how to choose?
Does anyone have any relation to these schools or any experience involving them? I'd love any input on the subject.
Thanks
