<p>Hi! I'm currently stuck between a couple of schools - Adelphi University, UCONN: Storrs, UMASS: Amherst, and Hunter College.</p>
<ol>
<li>I'm also a NYC resident, which draws me to Adelphi and Hunter since both schools are so close to home.</li>
<li>The thing with Hunter College is that I heard that it's not student friendly. </li>
<li>Adelphi gave me the most scholarship (half-ride). It is also opening a new nursing facility in 2015. The thing that makes me iffy about the school is that it's a small commuter school.</li>
<li>I would have to pay the most for UMass Amherst and UConn since I am an out of state student (I don't qualify for New England). UMass Amherst gave me 10k and honors college while UConn gave me 5k.</li>
<li>I'm really interested in being in the whole school pride thing, which makes me like UConn.</li>
<li>I'd prefer living suite style than traditional style.</li>
<li>I'm really interested in going to the gym on campus, so a nice gym would be wonderful! </li>
</ol>
<p>If any of you guys have any pros/cons about any or every aspect about the schools, it would be much appreciated! Thank you! ♥</p>
<p>As a parent from NYC I think you should go to a NY school as it sounds like you are going for nursing. I wouldn’t pay out of state tuition for something I could get in state that was just as good. The only reason we are waiting on umass is because he wants a sports management program housed in a business dept (not kinseology). I agree that Adelphi is a commuter school but I’ve only heard good things about Hunter… If your pocketbook allows then go where you would be most happy.</p>
<p>Sports management is a very competative field to get a job in. My s got into sports management at umass but im not sure what the end game is? </p>
<p>@bucky0926, yeah i’m going for nursing! what are some pros you’ve heard about hunter? I heard it’s really hard for students to register for classes 
</p>
<p>If you’re going for nursing then I’m not sure the tuition cost is worth it. As an OOS student, I am going to umass for the main reason that their computer science programs ranks very highly. I plan on going for both under grad and grad. If you can get a good nursing education elsewhere, go there. Umass is worth the money for me, but I doubt it would be for you. </p>
<p>I wouldn’t let registering for classes put me off. The only thing about Hunter is that its a total commuter school. If you want a dorm situation then Hunter is not the place (neither would be adelphi). But like someone else said you can get a nursing degree anywhere why pay more for umass? Save that money and go on vaction or get a reliable car. I only wish that CUNY had a sports management program for my son. </p>
<p>Ronboy, It I could get my son to go into one of the stem schools I would do it in a New York minute. But sports management is what he’s got his heart on so I have to support him. (STEM=science, technology, engineering, math). Do you at least agree that at least he comes out with a decent business degree as well?</p>
<p>I am going through the same thought process as well. But I am not so sure that getting a degree in sports management is the same as a business degree. Not nearlly as broad.</p>
<p>UMass has a pretty new rec center which is very nice. Also, the nursing program has a very good reputation. make sure you visit the schools.</p>
Visit each school. Lots of schools look good on paper. You will know how you feel when you step foot on campus! The right fit is everything!
