  There was a little discussion some time ago regarding grad programs
in cognitive science.  Well, its that time of year when I begin to 
dream about selling the house and going for the old P, h, & D.  So:  For
those of you who are in doctrate programs (or master's programs, too)
in cognitive science, how did you choose the program you're in?  What
do you like/dislike about it?  What are your employment prospects when
you're done?  What sorts of things drove your decision of what school
to go to?  What is your personal situation (single/married x number of
kids, x years work experience, etc)?  What I'm hoping to get is an idea 
of what the various programs are like from the inside; I can get all the 
propoganda I can stomach from various admissions offices.  
  Thanks for your help.  Post or e-mail as you want; if there is a lot
of mail I'll summarize and post it.
