I recently got the news that I’ve been accepted fot the Masters in International Affairs at NYU as well as the MA Goverment0 Conflict Resolution at Georgetown College.

Firstly, I’ve only just realized after reading the forums that I didn’t apply (out of ignorance) to SFS and instead applied to Georgetown College, despite the fact that I want to pursue International Affairs. My only excuse is that I’m an international applicant, and thus not as well versed in the major US universities. That unpleasant surprise aside (I gather that SFS is far better than the Dept of Government), I’ve gotten into the programme of my choice at NYU.

I realize that GT is supposed to be much better but my reservation are: I really want to study in New York, having visited the city, well, yes I just really want to live there : ) Second, I have the programme of my choice at NYU. However, DC is only a cheap and short bus ride away.

And I’ve also gotten IR at George Washington.

I’m seriously confused about the SFS vs GC debacle.

Any pointers/ other pros-cons?
Thanks!
