Northeastern VS UB!

<p>Hi guys my sister was accepted to North Eastern and UB for their business schools. </p>

<p>For UB she has to pay $6,000 a year and for NE she'd have to pay $14,000 a year.</p>

<p>She recently toured UB and loves it. I recommended her to stay for 2 years and transfer out but she insists that if she were to enroll, she would not transfer. She went to a competitive school in NYC and she believes that going to UB would be a misapplication of her academic rigor in highschool.</p>

<p>Honestly $14,000 for NE business school is not worth it IMO. I'd rather go to Baruch. </p>

<p>Can I get unbiased advice as to what she should do?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>NE with Room and Board is only costing her $14,000/year. Loans? Amount?
UB $6,000 after loans? Scholarship.?
Total debt she will incur?</p>

<p>NE has co-op program. Will be 5 years to finish. In business, co-op may be great resume builder. Unsure of internship possibilities in Business at UB. Call Dept head for this. Engineering program has job fair each Fall for kids to secure or at least apply for summer internships.</p>

<p>Thank you for your response Crazed. </p>

<p>NE room/board will cost $14,000 including loans
UB will cost $6,000 but will only be roughly $2,000 with loans ($4,000 loan) according to the time value of money it’ll be wise to take the subsidized loan for $4,000.</p>

<p>Shes going to major in business management, from my understanding neither NE or UB have great business programs. Accordingly, I suggested two years at UB and transfer to a more reputable school. Thoughts? </p>

<p>Shes been accepted into St. John’s, BU (Too expensive-no go), NE, and UB.</p>

<p>With St. John’s she’d only have to pay $4,000 (NO loans).</p>

<p>Hard decision.</p>

<p>Personally, I like to keep costs down, but go to a good school. Your daughter has some good choices. What is end debt?
UB X 4 years at $4K/year loan = $16K debt
St. Johns X 4 yrs = No debt
NE??? What do you expect to have her borrow per yr?</p>

<p>Ask an adviser at NE the percentage of business majors applying for and getting internships. How many are required? (Friends son applied for an internship, different major) and the internship fell through. He has a work study job for part of the semester as it took time to get it. Made much less $, more than room/board for the semester as well. The co-ops, per my friend are 6 months long.)</p>

<p>If the debt at NE is not too high, keep it in the mix and see where she’d like to be.</p>

<p>I just found out that she’d only have to pay $3,500 for the entire YEAR for UB, including tuition/room and board. This is excluding loans, essentially 4x3,500= $14,000 for her 4 years of undergrad. </p>

<p>NE is $14,000 for ONE year which is quite ridiculous. After 4 years it’ll accumulate to a grand total of $56,000 and lord knows tuition increases every year…</p>

<p>St. John’s would be $16,000 for her undergraduate studies. Which is pretty fair. </p>

<p>I’ve researched into NE’s co-op education and while it does seem promising, is it worth the debt?</p>

<p>Again, thanks for your input crazed. Much appreciated.</p>
