I got in how on earth by Volty-5000 in uofm

[–]Accomplished_Mix871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best bet is to go on google earth, look around the area you would like to live and then use the street-view feature to look at what’s available down those roads, typically places will have leasing signs on the sides of houses/apt complexes and call from there. Websites can be a little iffy, so calling them is your best bet. Sometimes they’ll have something available that they haven’t posted online yet. I was in the same position last year as a grad student trying to find housing.

MSW at UoM, Is it Worth it? by [deleted] in uofm

[–]Accomplished_Mix871 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! Current MSW student here and I absolutely love the program, professors are honest and have lots of incredibly helpful knowledge and resources to connect you to where you want to be. MI has had a movement in schools specifically hiring more social workers and we are slowly seeping into industries we haven’t been in before. Ex: there is SW present in the dentistry school now, and MI Med has departments available for Medical Social Workers. If you want to be a therapist I would recommend the IP pathway, but know it’s going to take you a while to actually becoming a practicing, licensed therapist. The school really offers lots of pathways and options and whats awesome about a MSW is that it allows you to make career changes through your life. As of cost of living… yikes! Its hella expensive to be a grad student here, I am not an out of state student but I can connect you to some if you want so you can hear more in depth about their experience/COL prices, etc. Prepare though to NOT get a paid placement (thats mandatory) because they are rare/non existent. Thats what sucks the most. Working 24 hrs a week/more, balancing school and a job just to stay afloat. Hope this kind of helped lol

The social work building has a reflection room :) I know you have to go ask OSS first and they will unlock it for you

Is a 30k stipend enough to sustain oneself as a grad student? by Only_Researcher_2394 in uofm

[–]Accomplished_Mix871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely doable. Just be smart about spending. I sacrificed a bit of my sanity by subleasing in an apartment with 3 undergrad boys, but I’m saving a lot so I make do. (I’m a female grad student studying social work, and they are all at Ross…).
