<p>Which is better for engineering and economics between NYU and BU? </p>

<p>I am from India.I got into both. The only catch is that NYU enrolled me in the Global Liberal Arts Programme under which I will have to spend two years in Shanghai and for the other two years I would be transferred to NYC and I will be able to join any one of NYU's schools.On the other hand,there is no such thing at BU. I am really confused. I do not know whether I should go to BU or NYU. Since I am an international, I do not know whether I will be able to adjust in Shanghai. NYU was one of my top priorities but I do not want to live in Shanghai. What should i do? also,will I be able to transfer if I am in Shanghai?</p>

<p>If you don’t want to do the Global Liberal Studies, pick BU because you won’t be happy in a place like Shanghai if you don’t want to be there. </p>

<p>NYU is better for economics (#7 in America), but they don’t have much of an engineering program from what I understand. </p>

<p>If the GLS is a problem at NYU, don’t think twice. Just pick BU because you’ll be miserable if you don’t want to be there.</p>

<p>i don’t know much about the GLS program, but I agree with fireman that unless you think you’ll thrive in Shanghai, you should go to BU. Based on the 2011 US News rankings alone, BU is 42 while NYU is 153 for undergraduate.</p>
