So, I want to know how university of rochester and georgia tech are in economics and math, in terms of faculty, their teaching, rigor of the courses, and research opportunities. If i’m planning to pursue eco and math, which school will help me get better prepared for a great grad school?
Also is university of rochester unsafe?(as the internet says?)
URoc unsafe? Not in my junior’s opinion. This is his third year. The last two year’s he’s been working with freshmen as an assistant and an RA, and of course, his freshman year he was also with freshman. There hasn’t been a single incident of “unsafe due to campus” among students on his halls, nor has he related other stories of it to us.
I can’t compare economics and math between the two. I just know he has peers who are happy in those majors, but that’s hardly a comparison. It just surprised me to read that some feel URoc is unsafe.
Both should be quite strong in math and good in econ. Check to see if each school has a quant track for econ.
Oddly, Georgia Tech does not list any math prerequisites for its intermediate economics courses (ECON 3110, 3120), so it may be that those courses are non-mathematical, which would likely be less interesting for someone looking for math-based economics. Rochester offers both non-mathematical (ECO 207, 209) and calculus-based intermediate economics courses (ECO 207H, 209H, “honors” courses), though even the latter uses less math than the most math-intensive intermediate economics courses elsewhere (which list more advanced math like multivariable calculus as prerequisites).
thanks for your useful replies! Well, I would like to add U MICH’s economics and math courses to this comparison.
Between URoch and UMich, I prefer URoch because it offers me $25000 in scholarship ( so payable fees:35,000) and mich’s fees is $55400 and I think it doesn’t offer any scholarships to international students.
