<p>I am a transferring accounting major going into my junior year and i am between oneonta and ithaca. I have 32,000 for college meaning i need to take out a loan to go to ithaca but their program sounds really hands on and fun. Any thoughts on an idea which to do. thanks</p>
<p>I’m going to Ithaca this fall, and what you said about Ithaca being hands on is correct. They are all about getting you out into the field versus just a classroom environment. I don’t know anything about Oneonta though…But to have $32,000, you wouldn’t have to take out that many loans. This coming year, Ithaca will cost about $47,000 INCLUDING personal expenses, books, transportation, etc. But a great thing about Ithaca is their merit aid. I received a $12,000 scholarship from them simply for grades. So perhaps you wouldn’t have to take out that much in loans. 
Feel free to ask any Qs about the school!</p>
<p>47,000 wow thats expensive, do you know what the average scholarship is?</p>
<p>I do not know what it is for transfer students. They give academic scholarships between 12-16,000 for their top 10% of applicants, and then 9,000 for the top 30%. Im receiving a full scholarship, so I dont know what other fin aid is given. sorry =/</p>
<p>They have great merit scholarships for sure though.</p>
<p>bump…</p>
