Kind of double-posting, so sorry - but I would like to know anyone/everyone's opinions on these schools/areas. All of the MSW programs are good ones, so I am curious here about what the areas of the schools are really like/what the grad experience is like.
Right now, I am choosing between:
-UPenn: offered a GA position, which is room and board, but a single room in undergrad housing
-SUNY Albany: was informed (after applying) that they would not be offering any RA/TA positions
-Virginia Commonwealth: tuition is around $18,000/yr, and I am waiting to hear about an awesome Residence Director position which would provide an apartment and a $10,000 paycheck
I already declined an offer from Temple (just wasn't that into it), and am still waiting to hear from George Mason - which could potentially give a competitive RA/TA offer, so I've heard.
I'd love any input!
