<p>I was accepted to George Washington University, SUNY Binghamton, CUNY Baruch, (& Boston University but I've already ruled it out because I would have to pay full tuition). I'm having a major dilemma when trying to choose one of these schools. I want to major in either Business or International Affairs/Political Science.</p>
<p>At GWU I was accepted into the School of Business & received a $20,000/yr presidential merit scholarship. I would still have to pay about $35,000(tuition + dorm).
Pros: DC - internships/opportunities; campus life; Academically in top 50 in the US, has all majors I would consider majoring in
Cons: Expensive</p>
<p>At SUNY Binghamton I would have to pay full tuition + dorm, which is about $20,000.
Pros: Academically a great school within the SUNY system, bang for your buck
Cons: Middle of nowhere</p>
<p>At CUNY Baruch, I was accepted into the Baruch Scholars Program, which seems similar to the Macaulay Honors Program; I receive full tuition scholarship for 4 years, a free laptop, $1200 stipend, and honors classes.
Pros: Free (& all thats stuff I get), NYC opportunities/internships/etc.
Cons: STAYING AT HOME, it's CUNY that I could've been accepted to without working as hard as I did in HS, not much of a college experience, not much flexibility of majors/classes outside of business</p>
<p>My parents do have enough money to pay for college, even GWU, which is why I did not receive any need-based financial aid; I need more advice to add to my pros/cons list to decide where to go. Please & thank you!</p>
