Hi all,
So I am currently a senior in high school ultimately trying to decide which college to attend. I am not quite sure what I want to major in (I’m thinking something along the lines of criminology/criminal justice and forensics). I got into Adelphi University, Hofstra University, St. John’s University, Wagner College, and University of New Haven and I am having trouble deciding which college I should attend. I want a school with a good ranking and reputation as well as a nice campus and well rounded students. If there are other schools that I need to check out, then I would not mind since I still have time, just as long as it is in the same region because I want to stay closer to home. Please let me know what you all think and thank you so much in advance!
Please post your stats and indicated how much your parents can afford.
John Jay is a school dedicated for criminology and related, you should add it into the list. Are you NYS resident?
University of Scranton has what you want and it is a much better and much nicer school than the ones you listed. The campus is first rate and the academics are excellent.
Price is not a big concern for me and yes I am a NYS resident. I have a composite score of 1822 on my SAT and a 3.6 GPA.
Look into Manhattan College which seems to have a criminal justice concentration under the Sociology major. If you are willing to go a bit further look at UScranton, Marist, and Quinnipiac which do have criminal justice majors.
