Expert opinions on the best states for english language assistants

Jan Balakian Ph.D.
Professor, Kean University
Again, that is for the world outside to answer. But since we have the world's best location next to NYC, I always think of NYC as the best play for any professional reading/writing career. My most vital students go on to Ph.D. programs in literature. Andrew Rimbey is writing his dissertation at Stony Brook. Briana Murray just completed her M.A. with a 3.9 and thinking of studying for a Ph.D. at Princeton or Columbia, or NYU.
