Thank you very much for your thoughtful suggestions! But the key problem is, I am in international student and far from the US, so it's almost impossible for me to pay a visit before choosing a school. So a further question I want to ask is, do you(or anyone else) have an idea of international students finding a job in the US? Is it really difficult at this economic situation? And do many positions require US citizens? Thanks!

That's really a new idea for me. I thought Hopkins is all the way research-oriented. Because I don't want to pursue a research pathway to be a faculty, so I was hesitating whether Hopkins is a fit one for me. That's wonderful! As well as changing advisor as you wish too!

Hi all, I have been admitted into MHS program in JHSPH and MPH program in Columbia. Certainly Hopkins is academically better than Columbia. But the high crime rate in Bmore really worried me, while NYC is such a convinient metropolis. However, in NYC, I need to spend more living expenses than Bmore because none of the two school offer me any funding... On the other hand, is MPH easier to find a job than MHS? Is NYC easier to find a job than Bmore? Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
