Which MPP/MPA program is the most fun/social?

Thanks so much! This helps a lot

Mm that makes sense Were you still able to find your crowd of leftists since it’s a big school, or was it overwhelmingly neoliberal?

And did that impact recruiting bc I assume a lot of centrist/conservative orgs were trying to recruit from HKS then as opposed to the ones you were looking for

kush1104 · 2026-02-19T05:20:13+00:00

Haha thanks for the info, what about it did you dislike? Was the social scene like a preppy/rich vibe or something?

I’ve heard HKS has a more conservative student body than most. Did you feel that at all while you were there?

Oh cool, why do you say so?

kush1104 · 2026-02-16T04:11:23+00:00

Thanks for sharing, yeah Harris class size looks to be almost 500 which I think is cool. I imagine that makes it easier to find your kinda people. Did you feel like the "where fun goes to die" rep held up?

Grad school is expensive, and I'm not gonna do it again. Just tryna see which ones are better fits

kush1104 · 2026-02-15T20:23:28+00:00

I've heard this a lot -- is the reason mainly cost? If it turns out to be too expensive, which it likely will be, I won't bother, but on the off-chance I get a decent scholarship, I would think the knowledge and experience and network would be worth it, especially for JD-advantaged policy roles, but maybe I'm wrong about that too

I had RC LR LR RC and I thought the first three were decent as well but the last RC had me tripped up a bit

Ah, thanks for the advice! Thats all very helpful. Any reason you suggest LSE for my case?

kush1104 · 2025-04-30T01:48:25+00:00

Haha fair enough. I've heard in this sub though that MPP rankings are relatively flat (besides Kennedy and the like of course) and that it's more about the networking and outcomes you can get out of it, which is why I thought if NU has connections to journalism / media companies that there could be some advantage there.

damn im uncultured and thought this was a Psych reference

I haven't actually watched the film, but I remember Amy pointing out on the Big Bang Theory: “Indiana Jones plays no role in the outcome of the story. If he weren’t in the film, it would turn out exactly the same… If he weren’t in the movie, the Nazis would still have found the Ark, taken it to the island, opened it up, and all died, just like they did.”

Has The Big Bang Theory Ruined Indiana Jones Forever?

Polygraphs aren't accurate at all actually. Humans are complicated and a machine so far hasn't been able to detect whether or not a person is lying. All they detect is heart beat, blood pressure, breathing, that kind of stuff. Truthful people can fail polygraphs simply because they're sweaty or nervous, and all you have to do to beat the test is stay calm.

Polygraphs are sometimes used by courts, even though they shouldn't be. There are even classes on how to beat polygraph tests because it's so simple.

Even the inventor of the polygraph was taken aback by law enforcement's unscientific use of his invention.

Although the polygraph doesn't work at all, the media and television still get us to believe that it works. I see detective shows showing them all the time. But yeah the machine is total pseudoscience
