Hey Guys
So I attended the Open House, and I will try and Summarize the day (the parts I was present for, arrived late and left early).
I missed most of the opening remarks, only caught the last portion where a current student talked a little bit about Boston about it being a great city.
After that was the departmental meetings, I am in Epi (so this might not be helpful to those in other departments). One of the faculty spoke to us about the department. He told us about the key contact people within the department. Most professors have an open door policy and are willing to help. He talked about the course requirements and research opportunities. In terms of funding, apparently the school has very limited funding. The epi department is very research focused, so if you are not big on research think twice
Then some current students came in and answered questions from the students. Pretty much said it is a heavy course load but it is doable. They do not advise to get a job in the first semester until you can get a hang of things.
We had lunch with current students. They were very nice and approached us to talk (there were in no rush). Everyone I spoke to loved being at HSPH and said they were a lot of opportunities.
I attended the international students events that covered visa, housing and all those stressful processes....
Personal Observations
The green line sucks!
The people here seemed very passionate about what they were doing, very approachable and nice.
There a alot of resources and they really tried to sell the school (for harvard I thought that was impressive).
Hope this helped
I know this is a general run through but if anyone had a more direct question, feel free to ask.
. I also considered Shattuck because it will provide a good opportunity to meet other students within the school. The price is just what is keeping me away, oh well!.
