Got off the waitlist for NYU Stern two days ago. Before NYU was my top but I’ve come to like Fordhams campus and programs and people since I’ve commited there. (Granted you find good and bad people everywhere but those at Fordham were more friendly and helping on the Facebook pages and stuff) Now I’m confused where I should go. I know NYU would automatically give me a better opportunity / network, not to mention the price at NYU is significantly higher since I got a good scholarship from Fordham. Also I’m not 100% set on what I want to do in Business, where as at NYU everyone seems to be very sure. A big thing for me is being able to travel and meet new people, and while I know NYU is more diverse, I heard it’s harder to meet people outside your major.
So yes I’m confused, please help. Is there anything you like/don’t like about Fordham or NYU. Which one is better overall?
Why are you sure that NYU would give you a better network?
@lilconfused7 Have you made a decision? Would you share the scores that got you a good scholarship at Fordham? Merit might make the difference in her ability to attend.
If you can afford NYU without loans/hardship then that is a great choice for business. If going to NYU would shackle you with debt and Fordham is affordable that would change my decision.
I’d rather see D’s go to their 3rd choice without debt than 1st choice with debt. Student loan payments take a bite out of freedom.
