Re: Oh dear god DO NOT GO TO GRAD SCHOOL.

[chardmonster]

You shouldn't go to grad school either, then. You'd find the atmosphere pretty judgmental.

Seriously, though: this is a really bad place to research schools. The fact that their question boils down to "which European nation is cheapest to go get a masters in" rather than "which program is best for my needs" reveals how little they've done.

Go look at one of several Medieval Studies professional organization websites. Look at college websites. Make a list and then show it to someone in your school's history department and ask them for advice. I remember doing this research, guys. That's what you have to do. Otherwise you might end up with a useless degree.

On top of this, for god's sake do not go to grad school to 'find yourself.' I'm not saying you have to feel like a Real Adult before you do--lord knows I didn't--but you have to have a good reason beyond "history is fun and makes me feel good." It's simply too expensive. For an American it's still going to be expensive in Europe. If OP wants a scholarship, they REALLY need to do research on programs. I'm getting a degree because I literally need it to do the job I want. Otherwise it isn't worth it, I promise you. It might kill your love of history. Or, again, you might end up with a halfassed degree that is ultimately a useless debt pile for you.

Ask Noodle how stressful history grad school is. He's seen when I'm under serious pressure.

I'm not saying don't go overseas. I'm saying don't get a masters so you can go overseas.

If you decide the best program for your field--the faculty you want to work with, remember--is overseas, go head. But do it because the commute is worth it, not because you want to live overseas.

tbh kinda seems like you're projecting a lot onto OP's post. that's what your first comment seemed like, too - you unloading your own baggage.

Re: Also:

[chardmonster]

Let's just say OP's attitude is very common. Ask anyone else here who's actually gone to grad school.

Or don't. Someone who sees a graduate degree as a vacation opportunity to "find themselves" is going to be very lucrative to whatever random history department they end up in. Gotta rake in those delicious loan bucks.

Re: Also:

[shortysc22]

I have to say, as someone who went straight from undergrad to grad, it's not the place to find yourself.

I knew what I wanted and I don't think a Master's degree has helped me currently, but 10 years down the line I'll be glad I did it right away. I also worked part time in my field (I'm a structural engineer) while I wet to grad school, which helped tremendously. I'm in no debt currently because I worked through grad school.

Seriously, though

[chardmonster]

If you think "go to the school with the best faculty for what you want to study" is unloading baggage I have no idea where you are coming from. Your prof is going to tell you the same thing.
