My son is in Hunter, and he loves it. It really depends on exactly what type of field you are pursuing in social work. There is clinical work, and there is whatever the other type is. Each grad school actually is geared to specific “hashkafa” and may not necessarily be right for you. Columbia, for example is more for the social worker academician, Hunter is more for the social worker who wants to work in the field with the clients. My son was accepted (with scholarship)to Columbia, Hunter, Wurzweiler, and one more, the name of which escapes me, but he specifically chose Hunter, because it is known to be tops in the field in which he is interested. Do your research carefully, and know what you want and NEED before making a decision.
