<p>Hi, I got my college decision all in since 2 weeks ago but I came down to two colleges which are UC Riverside and Polytechnic Institute of New York University. Can anyone help me here? </p>
<p>1) With education focus, which one is the best?
2) Which college would be the best for computer engineering major?
3) Which place has a convenient place to stay?</p>
<p>And if you have more information, please tell me!
Also, I got scholarship/grant from both colleges and they're pretty high so money is no object here.</p>
<p>Is this a serious question? Although I think you can never go wrong at a UC, and I had to google Polytechnic Institute of New York University and find out that it is indeed affiliated with NYU, you have to be kidding? </p>
<p>NYU-Poly appears to be a technical school with an undergrad body of under 2,000, and it is selective at a 55% admit rate.</p>
<p>Riverside will have all the normal majors with an undergrad pop of 17,000 and an 80% admit rate.</p>
<p>If you are sure that you will stick with CS (or engineering or science), AND the cost situation is similar, then NYU-Poly is the clear favorite and congrats on your acceptance plus a financial award there. You should feel proud of yourself for both these admits.</p>
<p>For your information, this is a serious question for me. I know, when it comes to ranking, UC Riverside is a lot better with longer education history. But I have always thought about NYU-Poly but my parents and parents’ friends keep discouraging me about NYU-Poly while people at my school do. </p>
<p>And thank you for telling what you feel about it. It really helps me a lot.</p>
<p>tell them to ess-tea-eff-you. bc it’s, for all intents and purposes, NYU.</p>
<p>…i go there, thats why i get defensive</p>
<p>@static75: I’m lost… you’re saying I should go to NYU-Poly right…?</p>
<p>Can anyone else help me here??</p>
<p>no, I’m saying don’t talk shiz about Poly because it can be prison-like, yes, but like all colleges, it has its moments and I love being a part of it</p>
<p>I’m also saying it’s entirely up to you. I feel like if someone told you, “DEFINITELY GO TO ___________” you would listen because you can’t decide for yourself. No. lol that’s not how it works - YOU need to decide for yourself. Good luck and have faith in yourself!!!</p>
<p>UCR definitely for computer-engineering they just opened up four new big buildings all for engineering purpose. Especially for nano technology. CONSIDER IT.</p>
<p>The OP probably already made a decision but I would go to UCR over NYU Poly.</p>
