<p>I want to pursue a career in IB. So far, I got into,
Binghamton, Fordham, Penn State, Boston U, and Baruch. Can someone please tell me which school will be better for a finance major or IB career?
I have to pay around 7000 a year for Fordham and Binghamton.
But I have to pay around 30,000 for Boston University( actually, around 35K for BU) and Penn State and I will actually get paid to go to Baruch. I will have 4,000+ left with all the scholarships.
Given, the cost and reputation, which will be a better choice?</p>
<p>Save your money. Fordham. They have strong WallStreet connections.</p>
<p>Baruch is a fine school but you won’t have the campus life that you will get at the other three. If you want a full college residential experience and can afford to drop Baruch off your list, I would. BU is a fine school but I personally wouldn’t pay over $100K (over the four years) to go there instead of Fordham or Binghamton. My S is a senior at Fordham in Gabelli so I am partial to that school (he has received an excellent education has great friends, loves the location, got into a great grad program), but I would try to go to the accepted student days at both Fordham and Binghamton and see which you like better. Fordham has more opportunities for internships due to its proximity to NYC, but if you do well at either school you will be in very good shape. Congratulations on your excellent choices.</p>
<p>Boston also gave me pretty much nothing and Fordham gave me pretty much everything. Easy decision.</p>
