pk, I think you’ll find that mainly undergrads and parents post here. Personal knowledge of any of the graduate programs at IU is very limited. However, if you read this board, you will see LOTS of comments about the quality of life on campus which would apply to grad students also.

I see that you are an international student, so visiting the 3 campuses you have been accepted to may not be possible. However, you can still develop a list of SPECIFIC questions that you could pose to the SM department at each school.

Ask them if there is anything unique about their program that sets them apart from other schools offering this major. Ask them how internships are handled. Ask them what their post-graduation employment rates are. Ask them how many companies use their Career Services office to look for recruits.

Sorry I can’t be of more help. Good luck with your decision.
