Taylor_Xo Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 I’m currently in my foundation year of my masters program for social work. I’m at University of Pennsylvania and having a very tough time here. I believed this would be an amazing environment but its been anything but that. I’m contemplating transferring grad schools to somewhere I feel welcomed and comfortable as well. I want to be happy.. anyone have any recommendations for schools to look into?
PokePsych Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 well, would also depend on what area you're in and what you want to study.

Do you have a specific specialization in mind? Health, mental health, policy, school ect? Are you looking to stay in the area or are you open to moving? I am have a wonderful time at Loyola Chicago. For me it has been a really open and wonderful environment and I am very pleased with the selection of clinical classes I can take my second year. I have friends at USC, Portland State, and Virginia Commonwealth who are all loving their first years as well.
Taylor_Xo Posted November 10, 2018 Author Posted November 10, 2018 I would study mental health, health, possibly older adults. I would be open to moving. I'm just having a horrible time at my school.

There are also many great placements for working with that population in Chicago. Loyolas deadline isn't till almost april I believe so definitely look into it!
