I'm having second thoughts about committing to a full AuD/PhD combined program without knowing truly what the program is like.
I admit it, I'm fully head-over-heels, stupid in love with the University of Iowa. I love the research, I love the faculty, I love the location, I love the resources available. But I'll be the first to admit that I've said this before about undergraduate institutions and ended up transferring out for one reason or another.
I'm just curious what you all think:
If you were intending to get both your AuD and your PhD, do you think you would prefer to go for your AuD first and then (based on how much you like/dislike the program) decide later about your PhD institution?
What are the benefits/drawbacks of completing both your AuD and PhD at the same institution?
Are there schools which are known primarily for their PhD programs but may be lacking for AuD?
Any advice you all might have will be accepted gratefully. I'm so glad I found this forum; y'all are beginning to feel like a second family already!
