Colleagues, I'm applying to the Bank Street College of Education in New York City for an M.S. in Education in Computers in Education. I anticipate entering in the fall of 1997 as a full-time student. I have logged in 6 years in the museum field, but now I have decided to broaden my academic/professional scope. I want to return to the worlds of museum and informal education upon completing the degree. From what I know, Bank Street seems like a wonderful place to learn; unfortunately, it does not offer on-campus housing. I have checked some recent apartment classifieds in AVISO, but even sub-leased, many of those rent for no less than $800 a month. I've saved some money, but not enough to cover that much per month for the next year and a half. I do plan on working but only part-time and of course there will be loans. If you ever attended grad. school, full or part-time, in New York City, I would like know how you might have been creative when came to securing shelter, especially if your school did not provide on-campus housing. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks a lot. Happy Holidays Orrie Crews <<[log in to unmask]>> Asst. Curator of Education The Natural Science Center of Greensboro Greensboro, N.C.
