Anyone familiar with U of Louisville CSD program? Funding?

[sunnyslp]

I got accepted here (yay!), but the email didn't say anything about funding.  Does anyone know how they are with financial assistance? 

Also, if you know or have heard anything about this program please share, I don't know much about it other than it seems more medically focused.

Thanks

Congratulations!! So exciting! I applied here, as well. Do you mind sharing some of your stats??  Can’t quite help you with the funding info... but I would love to know myself!

Do you happen to know anyone in the program and how they feel about it?  From my understanding it’s a newer program

My sister lives in louisville and I was going to apply here, but when I told her I was about to submit my application she told me it is in an unsafe part of town and that it is typically avoided because of the crime rates-- like one time she got lost down there and had to call a friend to come get her because she felt unsafe. Just a heads up! Congrats on getting in though   I know we all have our preferences.

I just happened to see this in the recently updated threads and so while I'm not in your all's field I am from Louisville. I just thought I'd throw out my two cents about the University of Louisville's campus and safety.

As long as where you will be attending classes and such is in the main campus of UofL, I really don't think safety will be an issue. I attended both middle school and high school directly next to UofL's main campus and never once felt unsafe. Yes, there are some areas a few miles away that aren't the best parts of town, but from everything I have ever experienced myself and from what I have heard from my friends and family who attended UofL I have never once heard of the campus being particularly unsafe. Be aware and take precautions as you would be in any larger city and you'll be fine.
