Fordham or Bentley?

<p>I was recentley accepted into Fordham University's College of Business Administration and Bentley College's Honors Program. I also received a 1/2 tuition scholarship at Bentley. I received no money at Fordham... =(</p>

<p>Although I am not certain about what I want to major in, I think it will probably be accounting or finance.</p>

<p>I would be nearly sure that I would go to Bentley except for the fact that they seem EXTREMELY unknown to many people in my area (NY suburb).</p>

<p>I know that Fordham is obviously more well known in NY and I THINK that I'd like to work in New York when I'm older. My thinking is that since Fordham is more well known, it will be easier for me to find a high paying job.</p>

<p>I'm a bit confused though because Bentley was ranked #11 by Princeton Review for "Best Career/Job Placement Services"</p>

<p>To be honest, I don't know if I really want to work in NY years from now, but I don't know what it would be like in Boston (Bentley is 15 mins away).</p>

<p>Also, my scores...</p>

<p>GPA: 94.80 weighted.</p>

<p>SAT: 1300/1930
680 : Math
620 : Critical Reading
630 : Writing</p>

<p>Thanks everyone.</p>

<p>bump......</p>

<p>i have asked LOTS of people if they have heard of betley an most say no. about 1 or 2 in 10 say yes they have heard of it. im still gonna go to bentley because it is an amazing school and i am very sure u can get a great job coming out of bentley. i have never heard of fordham too.</p>

<p>bump......</p>

<p>no one has anything to say?</p>

<p>Fordham CBA is a SUPERB school with AMAZING contacts. I can't remark about Bentley as I dont know anything about it.</p>

<p>Fordham has a beautiful campus on Rose Hill, the kids all matriculate and live amongst the Liberal Arts students, and engage in all the sports as well.</p>

<p>To me its not a difficult choice, but I dont know what your financial picture is.</p>

<p>But yes, Fordham kids have amazing internships which often turn into amazing jobs in Manhattan. </p>

<p>Its a tough school...very rigorous. So come prepared to work hard.</p>

<p>Congrats and welcome to Fordham CBA!</p>

<p>Thanks for the response, seafoodlover. I really appreciate it.</p>

<p>Bentley is a VERY good school. Frankly, for business, I think it is a better school than Fordham. Both schools have been improving over the years.</p>

<p>However, if Bentley were $10,000 or more less expensive than Fordham, which seems to be the case, take Bentley and NEVER look back. I actually ran the numbers. Since you would pay about $16,500 to Bentley and $34,000+ to Fordham, you would save $18,000 per year! This also doesn't take into account tuition increases each year. For $18,000 per year, take Bentley!</p>

<p>My only concern with Bentley is NOT the educational quality. My concern is that it is a very small school,which you may or may not like.</p>
