I’m currently having some trouble deciding between NYU Stern or Wesleyan. They are such different schools: liberal arts vs. business, suburbs vs. big city, small school vs. big school, etc. I’m not decided on a major yet but I’m thinking psych/sociology if I attend Wesleyan and marketing/social entrepreneurship at Stern. I know Stern is well know for finance and ibanking, but I haven’t had any in depth exposure to those subjects in HS, so I’m not sure if I will end up choosing those majors if I go.
At this point, my main concern with going to Stern is if going to business undergrad is worth it. I know a lot of people say it isn’t since people end up doing MBA’s anyways. However, Stern is in such an opportune location and has such a good rep that it’s hard to pass up. Also, another thing I’m passionate about is fashion and it would be awesome doing business+fashion in NYC.
My main concern with Wesleyan is what I would do with a liberal arts degree like psych/sociology after grad.There isn’t exactly a specific job associated with the majors I’m interested in, unlike how it is with majors like engineering—>future engineer. If any of you know what jobs can come from liberal arts degrees please let me know! Also, after living in Shanghai for six years, it would be nice getting away from the city life and living on a college campus like Wesleyan’s.
If any of you have any insights or opinions on anything I’ve mentioned or anything on those two schools in general please share!!
