I’m trying to decide between the University of Rhode Island and Suny cortland. I live in New York so cortland would be sognificantly cheaper (cortland being around 20,000 and URI being around 40,000 before grants and aid which will probably bring it down to around 35,000-30,000). I am planning on majoring in communications and maybe minoring in business. I am so conflicted. I want to go where it will benefit me most out of college and I’m not sure if it is worth taking on student debt by going to URI.
I would say SUNY - they have a great reputation and 10-15k a year x 4 is a big difference! Good luck!
URI’s strength seems to be in the pharmaceutical, sciences and engineering. They are definitely not known for having a strong program in communications or business, so I would say no, it’s not worth taking on the extra $$ in dept.
