I moved to New York to attend school. I was very excited to do so, I had a lot a dreams about what school would be like. It hasn't been a single one of those things. I thought that I would feel like I'm apart of a community, that I would meet cool people and professors and learn something that I wouldn't have learned at a school from my home state. Instead I feel isolated, the people here are all weird and there are so many professors there isn't a chance for community to form. Moving to New York...

New York University's social work master's program is well known and respected in the field. The professors are very accomplished and promote rich classroom discussions that incorporate a variety of viewpoints. (Several of the other instructors were good, too, but the professors impressed me the most.) Many of the readings were very informative and had a good mix of theory and tips on how to put theory into practice. I was a bit disappointed with the internship component; I really wanted to experience... Read More a different type of practice setting than I did in my two years in the program.

New York University's Silver School of Social Work has opened my eyes to a whole new field! As an undergraduate musical theater major, I didn't have any idea that I would later be studying Social Work at a place like NYU. The Silver School offers a 16 month accelerated MSW program that has allowed me to fast-track my path to becoming a professional social worker. I am interested in utilizing my masters along with my bachelor's degree to provide theater education to young people in low income communities....

I would highly recommend New York University's Masters in Social Work program because of the caliber of instruction and guidance that many of the professors provide to students.

The professors and staff at NYU Silver School of Social Work are passionate... Read More and dedicated to helping student learn and grow through that journey.

New York University. When people think of NYU they think diversity, opportunity, structure, and mostly expensive. For the past two years I have been enrolled in NYU's social work masters program. For those of you who aren't familiar with NYU, it is broken up into different schools within the school, as are many colleges. So, the school in which my courses are taken is the Silver School of Social Work. Due to the influx of students from all over the northeast students are elgibile to take social work... Read More courses at three different campuses. The campuses include the Westchester Campus, Rockland Campus, and the City Campus. This expansion makes the Silver School of Social Work very unique in comparison to other social work programs in NY. Having taken courses at the Westchester Campus I was able to build closer friendships and relationships with the professors. Since the Westchester Campus is smaller then the rest of the campuses, there are fewer professors to choose from. I found this very favorable and accommodating for my needs. Being from a smaller town I liked the idea of familiar faces. At the Westchester campus I had a total of approximately 8 professors for the total 2 year program. For individuals who liked having more of an option of professors they were able to have the option of attending the city campus. One detail about NYU and the Silver School of Social Work that I felt was biased was the political view of the professors in my particular program and the students. Throughout classes, politics was discussed frequently and it was often assumed that the individuals in the classroom all had the same perception. I found this to be unprofessional at times. Overall, I felt that the professors and staff were very accommodating in terms of scheduling, registrations, and assignments. The professors were always easy to reach and responded quickly. If you are looking for a school definitely consider applying to New York University.
