MA programs: Boston College or SUNY Buffalo

[dazedandbemused]

I'm currently trying to decide between these two unfunded programs, but I have no way of visiting and truly gauging which one would be a better fit for me. Does anyone have any information at all about either of these schools? It would be sooo helpful.

What sort of information are you looking for? I went to SUNY Buffalo and still live in the area.

Wreckofthehope: I'd also be interested in some info on Boston College's MA if you're able to offer any. I'm also unfunded and its an option among other MAs that I'm considering. Thanks so much!

Really anything at all. I'm planning to focus on Victorian studies and Queer theory, but I recently found out that Rachel Ablow, their Victorianist, just got a year-long fellowship and will be away. I guess I'm trying to decide whether the cheaper cost of living and tuition is worth it. I know the program is great anyway, which helps. I just hate having to make this decision without any way of seeing the place beforehand. I guess I need someone who can be my eyes?

Happy to help! I'll send you a PM.
