<p>If you had the option, would you go to NYU or UIUC over Alabama?</p>
<p>It can be impacted by the cost and your major and your available resources. Son got into honors at UIUC in comp sci (4th in the country for that major). Yet, OOS it was over $40k a year, no aid except loans. </p>
<p>He did the assessment. AL made more sense, plus it is a beautiful school with many options.</p>
<p>Honors at UIUC and $10,000 scholarship (I’m in state so with the scholarship it costs $15,000 a year) in journalism.</p>
<p>Full ride at University of Alabama.</p>
<p>Have you visited each school? NYU is a completely different culture from self-contained campuses in suburban-type areas (AL & [I believe] UIUC).</p>
<p>Btw, didn’t you have to tell your school by May 1st?</p>
<p>what is going to be your major</p>
<p>Journalism he said…</p>
<p>I’d go to Bama.</p>
<p>Oh, duh lol. well I have a few journalism and telecommunication friends. From what I hear that department or major is among the best.</p>
