Questions for Alumni and current MHA students

I’ll be applying to MHA programs next year and am trying to get a better insight on some of the programs. So far, Im thinking of applying to Cornell, Columbia, George Washington, University of Southern California, UC Berkeley, University Of Michigan, and John Hopkins. Below are some questions I have. Any response helps!

  1. If you attended any of the programs listed, can you please list their pros and cons?
  2. If you lived in a place other than with a family member, how did you pay for housing?
  3. I'm from LA and don't mind moving for grad school, however, I want to move back here. Would going to a school in another state jeopardize that?
  4. Do you wish you attended a different program than the one you were at or are in?
  5. If you have any additional advise or things you wish you knew, please say so.
