<p>Another factor to consider is how certain you are that you want to do finance. If you are not completely sure, Cornell is one of the best schools in terms of being able to offer really good programs in a number of very different fields.</p>
<p>Are you considering financial aid?
If you are not, then I’d say both schools offer great programs.
BTW, Cornell AEM is ACCREDITED internationally, just as Stern is.
However, Cornell does offer need-based FA, whereas NYU probably can’t give you much help in terms of tuition.</p>
<p>There are 14 colleges that make up Cornell University. Of the 14 colleges 4 are part of the land grant mission. The 4 schools are 1) Veterinary Medicine
2) Agriculture and Life Science
3) Human Ecology
4) Industrial and labor relations
These four colleges fulfill the mission of the land grant through applied research and community outreach.</p>
<p>Cornell is an Ivy league University which may interest you or it may not. That depends on whether you are applying because you are interested in the Ivy status or simply the fact that this superb institution will provide you with a suberb education, environment and opportunities.</p>
<p>I would like to caution many of the kids coming on and reading CC for the first time. There are many people who for whatever reason will try to put information out that is down right false. I would suggest that you visit Cornell and decide for yourself.</p>
<p>As someone who lived in New York City for 8 years, went to school there for 12, and currently attend Cornell, I present to you my heavily biased and prejudicial opinion:</p>
<p>Go to Stern.</p>
<p>No offense to my fellow cornellians, but two months into freshman year, I was pulling my hair out. I did not like the frat scene, and I could rarely find a group of my friends willing to go to ithaca commons for dinner rather than head to one of the frat houses to get wasted and/or attempt to hook up.</p>
<p>The city was an important part of my life, and being there is just an experience that I would never pass up. Yes, its louder and more expensive than living in Ithaca. Yes, quite possibly it is harder to get alcohol and easier to get mugged there.</p>
<p>But, no, it is not devoid of Lincoln Center, MSG, Central Park, random street performers, world renowned museums, Times Square, Chinatown, multiple bookstores(B&N and the Strand!), restaurants, and that sense of vibrancy you can never feel anywhere else.</p>
<p>New York is famous for a reason. As an international student, don’t pass the chance of a lifetime up.</p>
<p>…Yet at the same time, if you want to do anything related to business, you’re probably going to wind up there sometime anyway…</p>
<p>He’s an international student, Lollerpants, anything’s possible.</p>
<p>New York is a financial hub, but not the only one in the world.</p>
<p>ive lived in NYC for 12 yrs, and i think its really boring there haha. at least in ithaca everything is somewhat close. when i hang out with my friend in queens, i have to travel for almost 3 hours just to get there from brooklyn (6 hr round trip) which is just sad.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>then you’re not trying hard enough. there are 13,000+ undergrads alone at cornell - you can’t manage to find a group of… 2? 3? 4? people to go grab dinner in the commons over going to frats on a friday night? or, if those people don’t exist (which they totally do bc i know tons of people who’d rather grab dinner with friends than go to a frat house and party away with sweaty and sometimes sleazy frat boys) - you can’t manage to convince SOME of your friends who do like frats to go grab dinner at 6 or 7 before they head out/start pregaming at oh, around 9 or 10?</p>
<p>I think a few too many people use “NYC” when they really mean the odious island of Manhattan.</p>
<p>Then again, you probably aren’t going to be going to Queens for school.</p>
<p>you cant go wrong at either place…but if finance is your key i think it would be easier to do it in NYC…</p>
<p>i would go wherever you will save/pay less…e.g. if you live closer to nyu…</p>
