For the past two days, I have been at University Of Michigan-Ann Arbor. I really hate talking about school in general so, I am doing this blog in note-type format
Things great about the school-
-(according to them) they are the number one program of my field
-they have a whole building dedicated to my study( compared to U of I's crappy room)
-they have the joint degree for public policy and social work
Bad things about the school-
-cost of attendance per year is ~42k
-they just ended affirmative action and the racial tensions in the states is still there
-the campus is pretty white and pretty conservative (which is a good point when talking about my field, public policy and social work)
-michigan have been having financial troubles as a state and everyone seem to be suffering
Exciting stuff that happened during my visit
-beside the campus being beautiful inside and out, i met some cool people
-i meet a friend that showed me around( it was only one person, in fact everyone else didnt talk at all)
-but the blacks stuck together, the first person was white in case u wanted to know, when i found the afro-department, (which is HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with lots of teacher) they allowed to come to a class and speak and everything, it was awesome, introductions and all, and the boys were hott!!
So over all
I understand that regardless, I am going to be one of the few blacks at any grad program, the school is really beautiful and nyce( expect for the republican, lol, jk), cost of attention is high but the school may have the #1 program -and the joint degree(s) i want for Ph.D ( which is a 6 year program)
-----------so yeah I will apply
also i am applying to U of I-urbana, U of Chicago(which I need to visit), UIC
thats four so far
