UChicago or UPenn For MSW

[alyssa218]

Hi Everyone,

I just got accepted to both the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago for social work. I am having trouble deciding which to attend. I think that Chicago is the better program, but I am from NJ, so it would be easier to go to Penn. I am wondering what you think about job opportunities after each program. Which is better? Which has better field placements? I may want to go on to get my PhD as well- so I have to consider academic rigour too. And lastly, which program do you think has the best sense of community (not just within the program, but connection to the entire school). Basically, I am all over the place. Please help!
