Boston University VS. Penn State

<p>Hi, i've been accepted to Penn State University Park for Fall semester, but i only got into Boston University's CGS program. From my research, the CGS program does not seem like a bad idea (considering you declare your major after two years like most schools) but I got crappy aid (only 5500 grants and 5500 loans, total 11000 in aid). I got about 15000 in aid at Penn State. I'm a bit torn between the two places. Money is sort of an issue since my grandparents are helping me through college, but I want them to pay the least amount as possible. Is BU better than Penn State? I'm probably going to pick some liberal arts majors like broadcast journalism with english.</p>

<p>bump! Need some input! Is Penn State COM good as BU’s?</p>

<p>Penn State is arguably the better of the two. BU is definitely not worth the extra money if finances are an issue. Also, as I am sure you know, BU CGS is sort of a consolation prize.</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback! I think I’m going to stick with Penn State since it’s a good school and it’s cheaper.</p>
