MPP --Michigan or UCLA

[mikaer111]

Hi all,

I just have been admitted by the MPP program of Michigan Ford School and Luskin of UCLA. I have no ideas about which school I should accept? Ford has a good academic reputation in Public Policy and lots of current students who have work experience. However, the class is bigger and Ann Anbor is a small city. . UCLA is a dream school for lots of students , because" work harder, party harder". And the LA is my love city. But Luskin School don't answer how big the class is and the current students' background. And It might not be as good as Ford in Public Policy.

Could someone give me some advice? Thanks.

To attend total, per year or that's what you were awarded?

UCLA offered me $12000 fellowship and tuition is 30000+ per year. Michigan offered me $10000 fellowship , tuition is 20000+ per year....

Overall, they're fairly equal in terms of overall reputation, but Ford is better for policy and it's cheaper. Unless you're attached to LA for personal reasons I'd choose Michigan.

Are you Michigan resident, or were you offered in-state tuition? In-state tuition for Ford is about $22k/year, but about $40k/yr for out-of-state/international students (though they sometimes offer in-state tuition as part of a funding package). Just want to make sure you aren't looking at incorrect numbers. Tuition info for the university can be found here.
