<p>Hi! Need some advice, please. Originally wanted to be in NYC. Got accepted into NYU, turned it down due to financial aid even with a $12,500 scholarship. Accepted Brandeis University's offer with a very large scholarship. Just received word from Fordham that they will be offering me admission from the waitlist as a commuter. Awaiting financial aid package. Not really expecting much though. Totally disappointed about NYU.<br>
Brandeis vs. Fordham? What do u think?</p>
<p>brandeis........</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply. Just curious why you say Brandeis. I don't think I'll choose Fordham in the long run anyway. I don't want to commute. Brandeis is an excellent school, actually rated better than Fordham by many.</p>
<p>You already said it yourself. plus its cheaper for you</p>
<p>You're right. Do they even offer aid to commuter students? Can it be changed to residency next semester or thereafter?</p>
<p>how big is ur scholarship from brandeis</p>
<p>$30k from Brandeis.</p>
<p>Brandies is much better than Fordham, not that Fordham is bad, but Fordham is the weakest of the 3 schools you are looking at, don't wait for them, charge ahead to the (better) school that wants you.</p>
<p>Thanks. Brandeis is much better. Guess I'm just reaffirming my decision. Do you have any firsthand info about Brandeis?</p>
