<p>I've been admitted into both Fordham and UCR, but I am unable to decide on which to attend. I am still unsure of the financial aid I will be receiving from both schools because my FAFSA is still not processed, but even so, Fordham will be much more costly than UCR. In the long run, which school is better to attend?</p>
<p>Its not even close, my friend. The UC system is great, but as you well know, some are better than others and Riverside, while a good school with a growing repetoire, and very cost effective, is not the same as the unbelievable experience and quality education that Fordham offers. Plus Fordham is NYC and that alone is an education by itself. Two for the price of one, so to speak. If you can afford Fordham, do it. (But DONT take out hideous loans…i.e. graduating with onerous debt (north of, say…30k). </p>
<p>If you come to Fordham, come ready to work very hard…the workload is not easy. Congrats.</p>
