Old Dominion University vs University of Delaware
Hello everyone, I'm really struggling about where to go to graduate school. For reference I am a non-traditional student. Both schools cost roughly the same so that is not a factor. If anyone has experience with either of these schools that would be very appreciated. Or if anyone can give insights into being a Delaware licensed SLP v.s. a Virginia licensed SLP. I would also love to know the reputation of these schools within the community for SLP.
