yes to all actually, i guess i haven't tried the libraries part very much, but definitely have done the others -- I'll try that as well. thanks!

I am currently trying to get two studies done that I've spent over 2 years recruiting for from our psychology participant pool -- still only have as many participants that most grad students get in a month or two. obviously should've picked a more diverse place for these topics, but it's a common problem for most of us at the the typical university, I assume.... so thought we all might be able to share suggestions! I have posted ads on tons of websites (facebook, cragislist, etc.), used mturk, emailed out listservs, student groups, professors at different uni's, etc., and still short/lacking replies. I specifically need more Black and Latino participants, and don't have tons of money -- can usually only offer lotteries ($100-200) as an incentive. Anyways, if anyone else wants to pool resources, or has suggestions for me, that would be great! thanks!

i was accepted to both UMass Amherst and the CUNY graduate center (PhD in psychology). Funding and most other issues (available faculty to work with, etc.) are all about equal... Living wise, I'd much prefer NYC to the Pioneer Valley, though that area actually doesn't seem so bad. The last rankings I can find for the programs are about 10-12 years old, so I'm having a hard time judging which program is more prestigious / if it would be stupid to turn down one for the other. From what I can tell they are pretty equal. Does any one have any suggestions on either grad school (even just in general thoughts about the schools or locations would help)? Thanks!
