[nabs-l] which graduate program

[Ashley Bramlett]

Kelsey,
I cannot answer your questions. But I did want to say I hope you decide the 
right thing and do well in your slp program.
That is a great profession and you'll work with many kids as well as some 
adults who aquired speech problems.

I'd suggest, if you haven't done so, to check the school's websites.
They should list transportation options under student life. Since you 
mentioned safety as a factor, I'd check the police services. Will you have 
to live off campus? From your term relocate, I thought you might have to; 
not all schools offer graduate housing.

I echo what others said. Try and visit the school. While there, speak to not 
only advisors but also to students. Maybe they will connect you with an 
alumni whom you can ask about the program.
You may be able to meet some potential professors too.

>From what I've heard, the
Erie area is nice and safe. I believe there's tourist attractions around 
there, but more in Philidelphia but I think Philli may be far off.

Well,  good luck. Also, I mentioned some safety suggestions in my other 
email.
I think with some planning, you can be safe.

Ashley

Subject: [nabs-l] which graduate program

Hello,
I would like some of your opinions on this.  I just posted that I
am interested in a graduate program in speech-language pathobogy.
I have found three programs so far that sound interested.  One is
at University of Akron which is the online program I posted about
before.  The advantage to this one is that I can live at home
while taking classes and compaete clinicals in my hometown of
Medina, Ohio.  The second progham is Ohio State University.  My
concern with Ohio State is that I would need to relocate to
Columbus.  Therefore, someone from that area, can you please tell
me what the safety of that neighborhood would be like? How is the
bus transportation? Do they offer any discounts for osu students
or students with disabilities? The final phogram I have found so
far is Edinboro University of Pennsylvania.  They are a two-year
program.  This means I would need to relocate to Edinboro.  What
is it like there, if anyone is from that area? Is it a relatively
safe community for someone who is totally blind? They do offer
free bus transfortation on campus and in the Erie area so that is
something else to consider.  Their office of students with
disabilities is also national ranked.  Therefore, if you were in
my situation, which program would you choose and why?
Thanks in advance,
Kelsey Nicolay
