Men and women who plan to pursue careers in academia may hear advice to complete a master’s degree at a different university from the one at which they received their bachelor’s. There are sound reasons for this choice that can be beneficial in the future. In Milwaukee, high-quality off-campus Marquette student housing can be found within easy walking distance of the school.
A More Prestigious University
One reason for making a change is the chance to attend a more prestigious university for a graduate degree. A person who is completing a bachelor’s degree at a small state school may want to do graduate work at a top state school or an esteemed private university. Being successful in a more challenging academic environment can be impressive to employers.
Leaving the Comfort Zone
Those who make hiring decisions in academia appreciate seeing that a student left the comfort zone when pursuing graduate work. In a different school, the professors are entirely new instead of the familiar people the student has been in contact with for years. Long-standing comfortable friendships are not yet in place. Off-campus Marquette student housing allows graduate students to enjoy the independence of apartment life while being close enough to school for convenience.
A Doctoral Program
Many students choose another university because they can complete a doctoral degree in addition to the masters. They may want to study under a professor known for research and other projects in the field. After acceptance into the program, it’s time to start looking for housing. The search can begin with Lark On 14th.
