So I was going to go ahead with UB for my undergrad before I came across a mail from FAU about my acceptance into their honors college and now I’m confused. What would look better on a resume for law school a few years from now? Which one would give me a more promising experience?
Did you get into the honors college at Buffalo?
In terms of weather Wilkes wins hands down but check the course offerings - they’re more science focused but have a “law and society” concentration as well as classes/majors philosophy, political science, English… Email them for the list of classes offered this Fall.
The college is very small but very good and has its own campus which means terridic brand news facilities but also you need a means of transportation to attend football games we broader universities events. (you can ask if Wilkes provides a shuttle). But you can’t beat the dorms and access to Boca Raton beaches - even if Floridians complain about Boca Raton, which clearly not as dynamic as, say, Miami Beach. Then again, nor is Buffalo.
Contact the clubs to see how they function, ask Admissions what’s going on this weekend specifically, how easy it is to get to the beach, grade distribution in humanities.
@MYOS1634 Didn’t get into the honors college at Buffalo. But I attended the Accepted Students Reception they had and apparently it’s very rare for freshman to get into the honors college at UB. Most kids go for it in their 3rd year.
I was looking at the ranks and US News says UB is the better one here (#96). FAU was all the way down in the 200s, so I’m hoping it isn’t a wrong choice considering how I plan to do law in a T 14 (fingers crossed!).
Also, I am majoring in Economics, so that’s available in the Honors college at FAU.
I’ve read great stuff about both the unis but I’m still not very sure. Honors is definitely a big deal, but I read someone talk about a certain stigma surrounding FAU? Like, it isn’t very reputed in the US (international student here) so I’ve been paranoid ever since haha
Thanks for your help!
