EDUCATION
program. For example, Stetson University’s College of Law excels at trial and litigation (one of the top in the country), but is not as strong in other areas of law, such as environ- mental law; thus, if you’re interest lies in being a trial attor- ney, Stetson should be on your list.
Resources: This is sort of a catch-all category. We used to talk mainly
about library resources here (number of volumes, periodi- cals, etc. in your field), but resources really means just about anything that supports the graduate program, including en- dowments and foundations that support student research and publications.
Size: There are two aspects of size that you should evaluate
-- size of the program and size of the entire university. Just as with your undergraduate school, you need to find a size that feels right for you - whether to be a small fish in a big pond or a big fish in a small pond. The size of the university is important in terms of resources available (see above) and whether you like that kind of environment; more important, however, is the size the graduate program -- where you’ll spend the bulk of your time. Examine the faculty/student ratios.
State Regulations & Residency Requirements: If you are looking at graduate programs at state universi-
ties, you need to examine admission requirements and costs for in-state residents versus all other applicants. If you have your heart set on a specific state university and you do not currently live in that state, you might consider relocating to that state and establishing residency there before applying to the graduate program.
Surrounding Community: You’re going to have to live there for a number of years,
so you better be able to at least tolerate the surrounding ar- eas. What are you looking for -- an urban, rural, or suburban setting; do you want to live in a large city or small town? There is a joke here at Stetson University among undergrad- uates because the university is located in a small, quiet, and quaint town named DeLand - which most of the faculty love - but which many students refer to as “Dead-Land.”
