<p>sorry that this is another one of those college VS. college posts cuz I just can't seem to make up my mind.</p>
<p>1) Is UCLA really that much MORE prestigious than NYU?
2) Is having debt for a dream school worth it?
3) Is NYU's Steinhardt's program Communication prestigious/worth to attend for money it costs...</p>
<p>um...</p>
<p>yea..basically
its UCLA VS NYU...</p>
<p>p.s i'm from South Pasadena...like forty minutes away from UCLA...</p>
<ol>
<li>No, they're equally prestigious.</li>
<li>How much debt?</li>
</ol>
<p>Heyyyyyy friend! Go wherever your heart feels is right.</p>
<p>Going to school tomorrow? ;)</p>
<p>Sorry but this isn't even close. UCLA all the way. You're a Cali resident, so UCLA would be SO much less in terms of $ than NYU. So no, having debt isnt worth it when you were accepted into an awesome school like UCLA at a much more affordable price.</p>
<p>UCLA, with the exception of Stern, is more prestigious than NYU but not by much. I don't see how you can even consider NYU unless you ABSOLUTELY must go there and fulfill your "dream". </p>
<p>Go to UCLA if you aren't super-NYU obsessed and insane.</p>
<p>anyone else?</p>
<p>UCLA 10 characters</p>
<p>why ten characters</p>
<p>Is having a debt of having $60,000 more worth it just to go to a dream school that might not be that much better? You make the decision.</p>
<p>I'd say no.</p>
<p>UCLA.</p>
<p>Unless I was accepted into Stern, I would most certainly go to UCLA. You could probably transfer to a better school from UCLA.</p>
<p>Ahem NYU...communication at Steinhardt all the way! :-P</p>
<p>UCLA just because it will be really cheap for you compared to NYU, and they are about the same prestige was, with UCLA being maybe a little better overall.</p>
<p>UCLA - less tuition for a better Communications program. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>i would argue that UCLA is <b>more</b> prestigious than NYU.</p>
<p>where do you want to work? </p>
<p>if it's LA, then i'd suggest UCLA cuz the programs are probably similarly good but you'll get cheaper cost and better networking at UCLA.</p>
<p>if it's NY, then go for NYU, although you'd still be okay with UCLA.</p>
<p>UCLA definitely.</p>
<p>ugh...besides money</p>
<p>why is everyone saying UCLA?</p>
<p>More prestigious. NYU is a bit overrated. You have 40 years of city living to do if you want it but only 4 years of your life will be at the same level of peer interaction and campus-feel that you will get at Ugrad. </p>
<p>You are basically giving up money, a bit of prestige, and you will be missing the traditional campus/college environment (no, Grad school is not the same). </p>
<p>If you want to give these things up then it is your choice but that is why I recommended you REALLY love NYU in order to do so.</p>
<p>Yea NYU is overrated, go with UCLA, NYU isnt worth it at ALL. They also give really bad aid (NYU)</p>
