Gone South

Just trying to figure out where to go tomorrow is enough of a challenge. And now I´ve gotta decide which school to attend in September for my Public Health Masters. Honestly, I had no desire to go to the States but I applied anyways since there weren´t many programs in Canada. Very unexpectedly, I´ve now got choices, not always a good thing for indecisive schmucks like me. Well I can´t visit any of the schools and don´t have much time to talk to any profs/alumni/students, etc. Got enough stuff to do here.

Therefore, I could really use your help. I know you don´t know anything about my program but I´m sure some of you have opinions about doing advanced degrees, living/working in the States, and where you could see me enjoying my studies. Please email me or comment here any and all thoughts about which school you think I should attend (totally serious...consider costs, location, postgrad opportunities, etc.). Just curious to what you might have to say. The decision is obviously mine to make. Deadlines are end of the month. Shit.

Cal-Berkeley (Berkeley, CA - just across the bay from San Fran)
Yale (New Haven, CT - need to preorder my pink cardigan in advance)
Michigan (Ann Arbor, MI)
Emory (Atlanta, GA)
Oregon St. (Corvallis, OR)
Minnesota (Minneapolis, MN)
George Washington (Washington, DC)
Simon Fraser (Vancouver, BC)

I haven´t actually got into SFU yet but it´d be funny if I got rejected. Here´s hoping not because I´m very adamant about it. Would love to stay in Canada but would I be an idiot for doing so?

Thanks everyone.

Been spending some rainy days alone just wandering the streets. Makes for some good photo opps and thinking time.
