Graduate Programs in Art Therapy

Hi All!

So, after some long searching and thinking, I've decided to apply to masters programs in art therapy. Yay! I really enjoyed reading all the posts on this board and would like some info on a few programs that are at the top of my list. If anyone knows anything regarding the faculty, student pbody, post-graduation opportunitites for the following schools, please let me know:
MCP Hahnemann University
NYU
Pratt
George Washington University
Lesley University
Springfield College

Now a few questions:
--How important is it to choose a school where you'd like to end up practicing?
--How hard is it to get a job in a different state from where you went to school?
--What do the first few years after school look like?
--Is there a good network/community of art therapists around?
--Are there better places than others for art therapists to practice?

Also, if anyone has any advice or thoughts on applying, I'd appreciate them as well.

Thanks in advance for all your advice,
Amy
