<p>Thanks everyone for your honest opinions.
MYOS - I am graduating from Glasgow University in June with my Undergraduate, so it would be a masters program in the States which I would be looking to complete. I wasn’t sure if I needed a masters before my phd though?</p>
<p>NYU - Yes, the graudate assistantships include a tuition waver. The reason why I am looking into the States is also for a new experience. I have done my undergraduate in Scotland with one year abroad in Germany and now I’m up for a new experience. Not to mention, in Scotland funding is limitied so I would need a loan but being awarded a graduate assistantship in the States means that tuition fees are covered.
Also, I’m not looking for the ‘televised’ American experience, just that I want to get to know American culture as it is as this is important for me in every country which I am in. Thus, I was just asking if the schools have a lot of culture in them as well, that’s all.</p>
<p>Thanks timetodecide. The course does look very good!</p>
<p>mom2collegekids - Thank you for telling me about your children’s experience with Alabama. I didn’t know it had a strong history department, so that’s very helpful information. The links you added in were also very interesting! It looks like a gorgeous campus. Alabama definitely sounds like a great school to go to!</p>
