<p>I have been accepted to both nyu-poly and cooper union's engineering as a transfer. I would be able to finish poly in another 2 years while cooper would take another 3-4. poly would cost me around 12k a year. I live in nyc so i dont need to pay for room and board at either school. </p>
<p>Do you think its worth it to spend an extra year or possible 2 years at cooper rather than finish at poly in 2 years?</p>
<p>Doesn’t Cooper Union have no tuition?
What type of Engineering are you majoring in?</p>
<p>Yes, cooper union is free. major is chemical engineering</p>
<p>Cooper. Nyu is great and all, but it is always easier in the end with a full ride. Also, Cooper is phenomenal.</p>
<p>Well, it depends on what level we’re talking about NYU being “worth it”. If you’re asking if a future salary difference between the two will make up the difference, I have no idea. I think that depends on you more than the school.</p>
<p>If you’re talking about enjoying the situation with NYU more than Cooper Union situation, that’s a bit different, and something that I don’t think we can work out for you, either. If you have equal affection for both Cooper Union and NYU, I’d go with Cooper Union.</p>
<p>Definitely go to Cooper Union.</p>
<p>I’m not questioning whether Cooper Union is better than NYU-Poly. The answer to that is obvious. If I were a senior in high school my choice would no doubt be Cooper Union. However, NYU-Poly has awarded me with about 2 years worth of transfer credit while it seems as though Cooper Union will only give me a semester or two worth of credits. In the time that I graduate from Cooper Union, I could already have a graduate degree (or 2 years work experience) if I go to NYU-Poly. My question is as follows: is Cooper Union THAT much better than Poly that I should go there even though I would graduate from Poly 1-2 years earlier?</p>
<p>Thank You all who have responded.</p>
<p>^ Yes it is.</p>
<p>you can do great at either. I go to Poly, so if you have any super-specific questions, or want a time sometime, let me know :)</p>
<p>I may be biased, but I’ve worked with Poly grads at my internship. And I’ve worked with Cooper Union grads. And I <em>promise</em> you - you can go EXTREMELY far with either degrees/educations. But since you got into both as a transfer, you’ll probably go far nearly anywhere in all fairness :P</p>
<p>^ oh geez, typo. **want a tour sometime.</p>
