Which is considered the best? Can you rank them academically for me? I got into all three with $$ from each, the most from Fordham, so they are all very similarly priced for me. I will major in English, and they all seem to have decent programs, none really better than the other. How are they overall academically compared to each other?
D18 has been looking at Pitt & Fordham, so I can comment on those. Pretty different in size and type on University. Pitt has much higher academic diversity with good programs in Medicine, Engineering, etc. These help all programs improve. Slightly higher stat students at Pitt.
It depends on what you intend to do with an English degree. For example, D18 will study Art History, so NYC and Fordham is a huge draw. Check out professor backgrounds in English dept. Where did they get PhD? Are you going to grad school? Even with more $, is Fordham cheaper? (Room & Board is about $5k higher than Pitt.)
D18 decides by tomorrow and for her it’s a toss up, because of the museums in NYC. Good luck.
