I was just rejected from Temple, my first choice school. Another top choice, CUA, will be too expensive.
So, I’ve narrowed it down to Montclair & La Salle!
I actually got great financial aid/scholarships from La Salle. I prefer the urban location and higher rankings.
The only thing I’d prefer from Montclair is the larger size. It’s so close to home, and I really want to get away from my area!
It’s quite obvious I’d prefer La Salle! I just want to hear others’ opinion. Is it worth a few thousand more each year?
Do you know what you are planning to study? Philly’s great, I live close to LaSalle, and although it’s not the best area, it will give you access to all it has to offer.
@newjerseygirl98 I’m sorry you didn’t get into Temple. I’ve been following your posts for the past few months.
Montclair and LaSalle are really good options. Based on the previous posts I’ve read I would assume that you are from Bergen or Passaic County (I am in Bergen). Montclair would be very very close to home and while it is over double the size of LaSalle, I think a good number of them are commuters.
LaSalle is a great job. Probably better odds of graduating in 4 years, too.
But you have to get ready for college now that you know you’re going! And a good college too
Congratulations on making such a strategic list and on having such nice choices.
Congratulations! Have you visited La Salle? It’s a wonderful school with caring students and faculty. You won’t regret your decision. My son just committed at their Blue and Gold day on Saturday and it was truly a memorable experience. Best of luck to you!
