<p>i just dont know what to do and i dont want to transfer to Baruch and end up wondering what i could have done if i stayed at Northeastern. But i rally need to save the money and want to go home.</p>
<p>and because northeastern was ranked #1 in job placement. and isnt, afterall, what college is about?</p>
<p>If you plan on working in NYC, Baruch carries wayyyyy more clout than Northeasten (you would be hard pressed to find a business in NYC that is not familiar with Baruch and its reputation as a business school). If you are based in NYC, if you cannot get into Columbia or Stern then $ for $ the next best school is Baruch.</p>
<p>There are some of use (mini) who remember back in the day when people only went to NYU because they had $$ and could not get into Baruch ;) .</p>
<p>Baruch still has a larger internship base and a larger alumni base (and of course a larger NY student body) than NYU. </p>
<p>Dollar for dollar, if you had to pay full freight at NYU, and instead took the extra $160k and invested it in other parts of your education or future business opportunities, the comparison with Stern is "interesting", to say the least, and not necessarily in the latter's favor. This would be especially true if you were a top student at Baruch, but only a middling one at Stern.</p>
