BC Honors vs. Fordham Honors

Colleges and Universities A-Z Boston College

<p>so I was accepted to 2/7 of the schools I applied to (waitlisted at Georgetown and Brown) if accepted from either of those waitlists, i will likely go there.</p>

<p>Anyways, I love Boston College. I like the sports, social life, and the fact that the average student is more intelligent/motivated than the average Fordham student… However, it is sooo expensive and Fordham is offering me a $21,000 / year merit scholarship, and BC is giving me nothing at all. Furthermore, Fordham’s honors program has 24 students, BC’s has 100, so it seems that Fordham was right in saying they have the best honors program in the country. </p>

<p>WHAT SHOULD I DO? (im going insane)</p>

<p>well it depends if money is an object to you.
if money matters, go to fordham, because i'm sure whatever you probably do you can succeed regardless of which college you actually attend. </p>

<p>if money is not an issue, go to bc. haha, i don't know if i am actually helping you at all.</p>

<p>good luck in deciding.</p>

<p>money is not a deciding factor in that I COULD afford going to either school.</p>

<p>Still though, the $21,000 is a huge lump of cash, and its doing its job as a scholarship... enticing me</p>

<p>Would you choose Fordham Honors over BC honors even without the scholarship?</p>

<p>As a Yankees fan, I would pick Fordham since Yankee Stadium is right there. lol.</p>

<p>What are you planning on studying at each of these colleges?</p>

<p>"..Fordham's honors program has 24 students, BC's has 100, so it seems that Fordham was right in saying they have the best honors program in the country."</p>

<p>^^That's based off what? A number. What's their criteria to get into the program? How large was the applicant pool? What were the average stats of the people who applied? I mean, it's just a number, but to say they have the best program in the country is kind of hmm.</p>

<p>Honestly, if you love everything about BC like you say you do, then go with BC. Don't sacrifice your college experience.</p>
