I am getting to my final decision as to where I want to spend my next four years, and it is down to these three schools:
Fordham University (Gabelli at Rose Hill)
Binghamton University (Harpur College)
University of Delaware (Alfred Lerner)
I would like to major in Finance, but I was only admitted to Bing’s Arts and Sciences program with a major in math, and I heard it is rather tough to transfer to the School of Management. Also, Fordham is far more expensive than Bing and Delaware is somewhere in between the two in terms of price.
I’m pretty stressed right now and I don’t know where to go… Help.
Econ/finance and engineering are the predominate majors at UD. My D just committed there for biomedical sciences. There seemed to be some really happy Econ and Finance majors there that we met in the different forums and programs on our different visits there.
Fordham is a great school of course, but what does the greater cost mean? Loans? Scraping by each semester?
Bing is underrated, though not being admitted to you major of choice is concerning. Did you visit all three yet, how did they feel?
I would take Binghamton out of the equation since you were not admitted to the area you wish to study and an internal transfer is unlikely. And Fordham is great (for full discloseure my S went to Gabelli and loved it) but if it is un-affordable without loans/hardship then I’d opt for UDelaware.
