<p>Right now I am torn between going to either Depaul University or Rutgers-NB (I am also awaiting the decision from my #1 reach, UW-seattle). I am aware that Rutgers is the better ranked of the two, but I really loved Chicago and the vibe I got from Depaul. Depaul seemed to have a very good office for placement in the many internships available in Chicago which is a plus, but Rutgers is very close to our nation's largest city. I also worry that the campus life at Depaul will lack in comparison to Rutgers as many students are commuters or go home on weekends from what I hear. I plan on majoring in economics/finance and then possibly going on to law or getting an MBA.
Which would be the best route for me???</p>
<p>Is financial aid an issue?</p>
<p>Not really…btw I have been offered a scholarship for $11000 for DePaul</p>
<p>If the money isn’t an issue, go to the school that you liked most when visiting.</p>
<p>Go where you feel happiest! 
You’ll be more successful if you’re really
comfortable in the environment.</p>
<p>*Not really…btw I have been offered a scholarship for $11000 for DePaul *</p>
<p>DePaul costs about $43k per year. You’ve got an 11k scholarship. If your parents are happy to pay the other $32k per year, then go to DePaul. If they won’t, then go to whichever school they will pay for. </p>
<p>you’re OOS for Rutgers, right? It would cost about $38k to go there.</p>
<p>yes its not so much an issue of finance but that I am concerned DePaul may not be as well regarded as Rutgers. Would choosing DePaul have an effect on future job prospects or admissions into grad school?</p>
