Northeastern vs. Fordham

Colleges and Universities A-Z Fordham University

<p>I have to make a down payment to one of the schools just in case I don't get accepted from the wait list of Emory or NYU. I'm just wondering which one is better. I know, based on rankings, that NEU has a better business school, but overall, Fordham as a university is ranked higher than NEU. I got about the same amount of money from each school in scholarships. I have until May 1 to make a decision, but I'm really not sure which school to choose. I'm looking to study business. I guess the deciding factor would most likely be their reputation in the job world, location, etc., but which one do you think is better for business and why?</p>

<p>(What I don't get about the BusinessWeek rankings is how Fordham dropped 15 spots over the course of one year.)</p>

<p>I posted this in the Northeastern forum as well.</p>

<p>Hmm if you’re looking at location, NEU’s nicer than the Bronx</p>

<p>To me the major difference is that Northeaster has a 5 year coop program and Fordham is a traditional 4 year program. Personally I’m not a fan of the coop, but it is a personal thing.</p>

<p>My dad isn’t either. He would rather have me studying for four years straight than studying in small intervals of time. But I see the Co-op program as a chance to explore the business world and see what I like. It also will most likely help me land a job in the future.</p>
