frombostonto? Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 I have gotten into Arizone State University, University of Florida and UNC-Greensboro. I am having a hard time figuring out which school to choose. Does anyone know anything about these programs or how they compare to each other? I am looking to do 19th C American Lit. Any advice would be appreciated.
ale8698 Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 I visited UNCG before applying. The grad faculty was really nice/informative and so were all of the facilities. I know they have a strong comp program, which was a big deterrent for me since I am studying Southern and African American Lit. Also, I got some strange advice when participating in their grad conference and was advised by members from my program not to apply--but looking back I may regret that decision. From what I understand, the program is pretty reputable as are the faculty... Also, I'm from FL and all of the state universities are having terrible budget cuts. Several faculty in my MA program advised against applying to UF because the English department is undergoing major changes and has been rather decentralized and unstable for several years. Several former students agreed. None of this is firsthand, but hopefully it will help... Good luck on your decision and congrats!
frombostonto? Posted March 11, 2008 Author Posted March 11, 2008 So you ended up not applying at all? Are you doing your MA at UF?
warmclay Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 I'd also like to know this as I'm trying to decide whether or not to take U Florida's MA offer. Is it really bad down there?
