<p>Okay, so here's the thing.</p>
<p>I can go to Fordham for basically $6k a year.</p>
<p>or I can go to a local private university (not as prestigious, but not overlooked either) and start as a sophomore (may be able to start a bit higher with my other college credits). The problem is I'd be really close to home (missing out on the college experience?) and it's not exactly where I dreamed of going. This would be for around the same price per year. Plus, they would let me transfer out next year with the credits already, etc... but I might just stay there for an easier time and higher GPA.</p>
<p>I plan to go to law school after undergrad, if that helps. I really wanted to go GW, but the finaid is not good at all for me. I'm thinking maybe I can go to DC for law school.</p>
<p>well what is the other school? That might change a lot of things. </p>
<p>But from what you’ve said I think Fordham sounds like a sure bet. I mean you’d only be going for 6K, it’s NYC, and it’s a great school. I think that it’s kind of important to get away from home for your college experience and explore and there is no better place to do that than NYC.</p>
<p>bumpppity bumppp ?</p>
<p>No need to rush through college. Go to Fordham.</p>
<p>If you can go to Fordham for $6K a year, do it!!! Even if you take out loans, $24K isn’t a crippling amount of debt.</p>
<p>Besides, Fordham has a great law school of its own, and a tremendous track record placing its grads into other top-notch law schools.</p>
<p>I honestly don’t see any downside to spending the next four years of your life at Fordham.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Hi, again,
Just read your other thread. I didn’t realize the state school you were accepted to is TCNJ, or that you’d be commuting for Fordham.</p>
<p>That changes things a bit.</p>
<p>TCNJ is an outstanding school. So is Fordham. But I think I’d urge you to go to TCNJ and live on campus, verses commuting to Fordham.</p>
<p>I really think it’s better to live on campus than to commute, if you have a choice. Which you do. :)</p>
<p>I say this as a Fordham grad who loves the school, but who also lived on campus for four years. Go to TCNJ, live on campus, have fun, and immerse yourself in college. </p>
<p>You’ll have no problem getting into a topnotch law school from TCNJ, provided you have a strong undergrad transcript and high LSATs.</p>
<p>Fordham for 6K per is a bargain. I would opt for Fordham.</p>
