Subject: RE: BS: Help on US colleges please?
I would ask you this........
When you are considering a school, what are your priorities?
Success of graduates in the field...and are they doing what I want to do?........What type of Social Work do you intend to do?
What is the campus life like? What about class sizes and the like? ..........Can you adjust to a small or large setting or are you more comfortable in one or the other?
What's it like to live in the area? ....You're going to be there for awhile and it's easier to get along some places then others.
There are a lot of things I don't know about you that only you can answer, but if you can line up some priorities/expectations out of what you're looking for, it would be a lot easier. You can get a quality education at the Masters level from any number of schools here and I would be happy to help if I knew a little more about what your priorities of choice are. I have a lot of friends in Social Work and I can draw a lot from them too if you like.......You can post here or PM me.
This is a big country and like anyplace else it has a lot of differences from one place to the next. I know we'd all like to see you make the best choice for yourself so you get the learning experience you want along with the life experience that you can enjoy.
