BU v. Tulane

Colleges and Universities A-Z Boston University

<p>hey everyone! I know these types of posts are a dime a dozen around here, but I could really use the advice. Ive narrowed my college decision down to Tulane and Boston University.</p>

<p>Financially, Tulane is a better option. It would cost me about 3000 out of pocket, and 7000 in loans. BU is 9000 out of pocket, and 10000 in loans. (annual costs). Yes, I know how great, theses prices are to other people, but it is still A LOT for my family.</p>

<p>However BU is closer to home (I’m from long island) and has an entire school dedicated to my intended major, (Communication). Finances, however, need to be a critical part of the decision given my family’s less than favorable financial state.</p>

<p>Any advice is greatly appreciated! c:</p>

<p>I would say BU… I was in the same situation but my counselor told me that Boston is just overall a better city than New Orleans for Communications opportunities. Apply for scholarships- free money!</p>

<p>BU is more worldy recognized as well</p>

<p>Really? I know there is a large international student body there, but is it really well regarded abroad? </p>

<p>I am looking to get some international experience and if it has a stellar reputation overseas then I am looking forward to BU.</p>
