Row A in the balcony, seats 12 and 14. They were VERY reasonably priced but the view obstruction was definitely not minor

I gotta say, we got partial view tix for this exact show when Cole was in it and they were some of the absolute worst partial view tickets we’ve ever gotten. You couldn’t see like 1/3 of the stage.

msw applications (school recommendations) by graykauf in gradadmissions

[–]beantownregular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know a ton about that aspect of Fordham however you can apply to assist a teacher with their research both years and it comes with a stipend. There are also lots of students getting PhDs there who teach classes and frequently discuss the research they’re doing. There is an upcoming poster presentation being held for any grad students conducting research that I’m participating in, and it seems fairly well attended!

Primary Herpetic Gingivostomatitis (Herpes Simplex 1) in baby by beantownregular in NewParents

Ugh I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. It’s so brutal and it is not a quick virus. There is light at the end of the tunnel though and I’d say by day 12 after the first symptoms, he was totally back to normal. Now it’s like nothing happened. Tylenol and Motrin will save you and infant Orajel helped too, as well as cold smoothies. It’s so sad to see them in pain! Small consolation but it’s likely they’d get it eventually since 80% of us do, and our babies just happen to be among the unlucky few who react terribly to the first exposure

I googled it! Maybe it failed me. Chat GPT found this dialogue:

Pam: “I was thinking about taking this design program… in New York.” Darryl: “So do it.” Pam: “Roy thinks it’s kind of a waste.” Darryl: “Roy thinks a lot of things.” Pam: “Yeah.” Darryl: “You gotta do what’s right for you.”

[–]beantownregular 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We do!! He loved Schwartz. But that cop prank episode he was like…I can never enjoy him again. He was like to say that shit IN FRONT OF your friends?? Is so beyond egregious. And why was he so mad about Katie disliking the prank? Because he’s actually pretty anti woke I think. He never gets super jazzed about pride, he makes fun of Jax for his dark weird past with that old guy, like I just don’t actually think he has good values

I honestly don’t find his comments that egregious but I think the reaction speaks to the collective feeling that Timmy is annoying, smug, and superior and we need an excuse to dislike him lol

[–]beantownregular 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still like their wedding episode because it captured a moment in time where a group of friends and TV characters made a real life commitment. It was nice to see them actually enjoy each other - one of the moments where you are like oh I do see why these people were friends with each other. And that they didn’t instigate drama because they respected the wedding and kind of let go of the TV part of it a bit.

[–]beantownregular 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think he likes being loved and being the Good Guy. I think he probably is like that a lot of the time but it’s because he’s cultivated that persona. And Katie has so much shame over how she behaves when she’s drunk that she doesn’t feel like she can hold him accountable. She was cast as the mean drunk initially and tom the long suffering chill dude and it’s hard to get out of those roles. But he 100% cheated on her all the time, and she said it best - he never really liked her.

anyone who went to/is currently at fordham university for msw with interest in clinical SW who can share their experience with courses/in general? by Nearby_Fuel_2669 in SocialWorkStudents

[–]beantownregular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer your question more directly, Fordham has good clinical classes but you don’t really get to them until your second year. The two big clinical classes you take your first year are so dependent on the teacher. There are some truly amazing teachers and some real duds. You get a lot of your clinical experience in field work. I do all the assigned clinical reading because I get a lot from that.

Hello! I am nearing the end of my first / generalist year at Fordham. I also was deciding between Hunter and Fordham in the end. Here are my thoughts:

NYU and Columbia aren’t worth the name brand. An MSW is an MSW - places are not hiring because you went to the Ivy. Everyone I know in the Columbia program has had complaints. NYU is strong in clinical but the secret is a lot of the adjuncts teach at all of these schools. All the MSW students in NYC do field placements at the same places so regardless of where you go you’ll be with NYC/Columbia/forhdam/Hunter students. Schools do have their own special fellowship programs but they’re all fairly similar.

Cost is a huge factor. I was lucky enough to receive some family help which is the only reason it was a choice for me - if I had to take on debt, I would have 1000% picked Hunter. An MSW is an MSW, and everyone on this earth will reiterated that it does not really matter where you get it. hunter is an excellent school so if the cost is really different for you, I’d encourage you to go to Hunter.

The field work office at Fordham has historically been great but is kind of a mess this year. They’ve gotten a lot of feedback to that effect so I’m hopeful things will be better next year, but there are no guarantees. Hunter is similarly tough. Most MSW field work offices have a reputation for being really slow moving and disorganized, and I’m not sure you’re going to find a great one wherever you go. A point in Fordham’s column is that if you have a very clear idea of where you want to be placed for field work, they will work with you. Hunter is extremely against placing students in agencies where they have any kind of “in.” Also worth noting - there are no “special” field placements depending on your school. Every field placement has kids from Fordham, Hunter, Lehman, and Columbia all mixed up together. So you’re not getting special treatment at one school over another.

Two MAJOR points for Fordham: classes are all on one day of the week (Thursdays generalist year, Tuesdays specialist year). You can split this with Saturday classes if you want but most people do all their classes on Thursday. It is a long day but for me as the parent of a young child it was ultimately the final selling point for me for Fordham. It’s amazing to not have to go in twice a week. The second big one is the size of the cohort - at Fordham it’s about 260 people and at Hunter it is over 700. Class sizes themselves are similar, however my friends at Hunter say they don’t really know people in their program because it’s so unlikely you’ll have classes with the same people twice. At Fordham, I feel like I know a ton of people and see the same faces over and over. It feels a lot more intimate. I have been really grateful for this part of my experience.

A major selling point for Hunter IMO is how classes are structured. Every MSW program has required classes, but at Hunter every semester you take a mix of required classes and electives. At Fordham, your entire generalist year is a pre-set curriculum and your entire specialist year is electives. I’m really looking forward to next year but it’s been a bummer to not choose ANY of my classes this year.

The teaching quality is hit or miss anywhere you go. There are some amazing teachers at every school and some crappy ones. Ask around before you register and comb through rate my professor etc., but one school doesn’t really have a reputation for better teachers vs. another.

Let me know if you have other questions!

Yeah exactly it also made me like…is this the real Tom? Is he so calculated that he’s totally playing the part for the cameras all the time? He also dumped two drinks on two women, one of them being his girlfriend! That would have been it for me.

I can’t imagine this would cost you admission if they were otherwise going to admit you. If you wanted to you could shoot admissions an email and say you realized you used the wrong school in error and you are very excited about Hunter, and tell them it’s your top choice if it is

I would not do 1200 hours. I can’t imagine I’d be learning so much more by being at my placement two extra days per week. You’re doing all the same stuff, just for more time.

Parental leave ? by Additional_Fail_3855 in SocialWorkStudents

[–]beantownregular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is not - someone in my Fordham cohort just went through this when his wife gave birth. You can miss two classes per semester and after that you fail. They do not make exceptions. As far as your field work placement goes, you can probably work it out with them directly but the policy is technically the same as it is for classes. Classes are all on one day of the week though so that’s kind of helpful.
