U Mich vs Hunter College

[MaggieDot]

Hi Everyone, 

 

I'm looking to apply to programs that have a strong clinical focus. I don't think I'd mind living in Ann Arbor, and I love the idea of living in NY, but still stuck between these two programs. 

 

Total cost of the program + living expenses will of course come into play. I know Hunter is pretty inexpensive, but living in NY won't be easy. I don't know too much about Ann Arbor, but tuition will be higher for me since I'm out of state (CA). 

 

Other things to think about:

 

- Licensing/access to internships and supervised positions after graduation. I'd like to be able to stay put until I become licensed. 

 

- Is one state's license more well regarded than the other? I'd like to be able to move around if a good opportunity came up.

 

SO, are there any current students/recent graduates from either U Mich. or Hunter that can offer some insight as to what it's like attending these programs? Any input helps.

 

Thanks in advance!
