<p>Hi Guys, i really need your help regarding my situation. I'm an Ungradute Accounting International student enrolled in Rochester Institute of Technology, Dubai. Incase you don't know, its the satellite branch of Rochester institute Of Technology, New York. I am planning to tranfer to the main campus of RIT in New York but then again, i am having seconds thoughts about transferring to another university since, the tuition fee is too much. If i do transfer then there is chance of me loosing credits which i don't want. Then again, some people say that RIT is a great University with a lot of opportunities including a great possibility of getting a job, right after graduation and this is really confussing me. What i am looking forward to is, meeting new people that are friendly & easy to be friends with. I would prefer a co-operative university faculty, Great location & affordable Tuition Fee with housing on compus, How much Scholarships they offer and has a great Co-op as well. </p>

<p>I am also planning to work in the US after my graduation and believe that New York is a great place to get a job and start my career in Accounting. which is why i would really appreciate it if some one could tell about OPT (Optional Practical Training) and when can i apply for it.
Also what is the averiage salary for BS in Accounting graduate? </p>

<p>The followings are the Universities i am considering to go to. Could any one suggest me which university i should join and why?</p>

<p>RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology)
UB (University at Buffalo-SUNY)
BU (Binghamton University-SUNY)
UAlbany (University at Albany--SUNY)
Pennsylvania State University--University Park
University of Pittsburgh</p>

<p>Thank you for your time and your suggestions.</p>

<p>You have to find out CPA requirements for New York and see what you need to do to qualify</p>

<p>I think I’ve read that SUNY career fairs are huge and that a lot of firms visit those schools so I don’t think you can go wrong there.
PSU is perhaps one of the biggest schools in PA so I would expect the school would be flooded with recruiters as well.
For average starting salaries, it depends on what job you obtain after graduating. Here is a link with a TON of charts of average salaries, in 08. So I’d expect you can add a few thousand onto those for this year, and so on. </p>

<p>Look at job placement rates for the schools you’re interested in, or maybe even email a few professors from each school. You can also go on usnews and looking up specific rankings.</p>
