Boston University vs Occidental College vs U of Denver?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Denver
1

<p>The colleges I am choosing has been narrowed down to three: Boston University, Occidental College, University of Denver (Honor Program with annual aid $18,000). Additionally, I am an international applicant and hope to major in mathematics, computer science, political science or finance. </p>

<p>I prefer BU, but it’s too expensive, the cost on its website is $57,000 and maybe this is a minimum cost. So I want to know the average cost for BU student and whether BU is worth that money. </p>

<p>I also like DU, its location ,skiing, honor program and financial aid are very attracting except low ranking.... Since the class size is very small, I am wondering " Does the college ranking really matter especially in education quality?"</p>

<p>Please help me figure out the pros and cons of these three schools. (Academics, intern, future career…) Thank you~</p>

<p>I’d say the business school at udenver is good, but other programs are lacking and that is partly why it is ranked so low. Pick what has the strongest department that you want to go into and the cheapest. Studies have proven that once you can get into top notch schools like you have future success does not depend on where you go to college. Also consider how free from debt you want to be after you graduate. I almost went to DU but could not justify the cost for a non business major. They at also eliminating their B.S. Degree in economics which would have been my backup. Good luck!!!</p>
