<p>I'm having trouble deciding between boston university and fordham, the rosehill campus. I'm going in undecided for both. </p>
<p>With Boston, I'm worried about grade deflation, being just a number in a huge school, being far away from my home in Brooklyn, NY. But they did give me a good amount of financial aid/grants and I know that BU has a really good rep with lots of opportunities. I'm just scared I might struggle academically. </p>
<p>Fordham on the other hand gave me about 8,000 dollars less and academically probably doesnt compare to BU. But, the campus is beautiful, i love NY (close to everything and im comfortable here), i know a few ppl going there, and FU is also becoming the "hot" school. </p>
<p>it does seem like a tough desicion for you to make..however academically wise, fordham has also a great education quality from what i heard from my teachers..similar to BU, perhaps in majors they may differ, yet it is still a great school..i suggest you to go with the school that specializes in ur field..and what u plan to study...i hope that helpss..good luck on ur desicion!</p>
<p>Hi ESwiz. If you choose Fordham, will you be commuting or staying in the Rosehill dorms? That might be a factor in your decision. You're gonna end up paying less if you're commuting, but would that detract from your college experience, a question you can ask yourself. Another factor to compare is the internships and recruitment opportunity at both schools. Will Fordham offer more in this area?</p>
<p>i would be dorming in rose hill, i think my internship opportunities will be equal in both school
fordham has its strength in law, and bu in international relations
im undecided still</p>
<p>ESwiz, I was just reading thru some of the other posts, and found that another student was able to appeal for more aid from Fordham, and explained what he had to do. You might try and appeal to Fordham and that might help resolve some of the aid difference between BU and Fordham. Couldn't hurt. </p>
