WHAT...Grad school Already.....????

So I visited Northeastern on Saturday to take a look at the graduate program for Student Affair/Higher Ed. The program that I am looking into is the Student Development and Counseling program. Although I came into my undergrad at Suffolk as a psychology major, I decided, a couple of months ago that I wanted to go into the world of Student Affairs. Having experience in various fields such as Student Activities, Reslife, and Admissions it was clear to me that I wasn't involved for just the fun of it but it helped me realize, career wise that I could be successful in Higher Ed.

Northeastern was a little overwhelming because is a big school compared to Suffolk. I remember when I was looking for schools back in high school. I wanted to go to a big school like Northeastern but now that I've been at Suffolk I realize how happy I was to be at Suffolk. The perks with going to a small school is that you don't get lost in the crowd. Now for my masters I would love to go to Northeastern because I want to experience I different environment then what I had at Suffolk. Suffolk also has a high ed. program which I plan on applying for but people tell me that you shouldn't go to the same school where you got your undergrad degree. Although, what it will really come down to, is that I will go to the school where I want to go to and that's what really matters.

Having to get ready for this just brings me back to senior of high school. Scrambling to get references, visiting schools, taking entry level exams, and still get work done for your current classes. It's been a busy road so far and hopefully it will all pay out in the end.
