Graduate Study in the Twin Ports

I am lucky enough to have been declared the director of graduate studies in the Master of Liberal Studies degree at UMD.

It made me think that a guide to local grad programs would be helpful. So I built one. Which programs listed below are you an alumnus from?  And what advice might you have for new students?

(Please stay away from the “100 reasons not to go to grad school;  I have that advice covered here.) This is about best counsel for those who have made the decision to attend.
