zen_monk Yesterday, there was a college fair for people looking for Law school or graduate programs abroad or within engineering.
Got around to tables for UC Hastings and for state schools like San Francisco State or San Jose. Also checked out the UCSB table, since it's possible and probably more practical to attend a school while living with my family, even though UCSB doesn't have a law program.
However, Columbia School of Journalism was there, and I gotta admit there is something alluring about being in NYC and only submitting a writing portfolio with abstracts and not having to take the GREs or have my GPA in consideration.
Still, that's hella money to throw at a program that's only 10 months long for a full-time student. Two if part-time.
Ahhh man, grad school. I thought it'd be neat to do research in either of my current undergrad majors (Philosophy and Literature double major), but life as an academic, man.
One of the studying abroad programs was Across the Pond, which helps students who want to do graduate programs in the UK. I only know King's College of London, since one of my philosophy professors in CC was an alumnus there. Prestigious institution, too, and I hear that getting accepted in England is easier than in the US.
But moneyyyyyyyy *shakes fists in the air in impotent rage*
