<p>i really need help..!! i'm in a tight situation and i need advice... i got into nyu college and i got into usc-the business school... i wanna get into business so i applied to marshall but i didnt apply to stern coz i thought i didn't get in.. so if i go to nyu it will be with the intention of doing economics and then going on to finance later..
but i cant decide which one to choose..!! NYC and LA are both amazing and both the schools are amazing.. can anyone tell me which one would be better in my case? i want to decide soon so that i can apply for housing etc. i love both schools but unfortunately i can only pick one.. :P</p>
<p>First off, transferring to Stern from CAS can be tricky, and is not always guaranteed...it would probably depend on space availability (Stern is a small school)....so if thats your intention, don't bet on it (this is why NYU tells you to apply to the school you want to go to). </p>
<p>That being said, NYU's econ. department is far above USC's, and USC's b-school, especially if you want to work on wall st. (if finance is indeed what you want to do, look at where investment banks recruit, and take the word of someone who's worked on wall st--me).</p>
<p>since both nyc and LA are amazing cities i don't mind staying/working in either of them.. but im guessing that employment opportunities in nyc are higher that those in LA? is that true?
also... what if i want to live in california.. would the usc b-school be better or nyu econ? thanks!!</p>
<p>If you want to go into finance (an assumption I made from your post)..NY is clearly better than LA, and would have a lot more opportunities. Obviously wall st. is in NY, and LA really isn't known for anything big in the financial world (CA's finance hub is San Fran). </p>
<p>If you want to live in CA it depends. If you want to start working in CA right after college (fyi, if you want to be a banker, thats very rare, most people start out in NY)...I'd say USC has an advantage, though NYU's name is strong on the west coast as well. If you want to start out in NY and eventually end up in CA (this is much more common in the financial industry, most people in other regions have NY stints)...then NYU is definitely better.</p>
<p>thanks a lot for ure help! i am seriously leaning towards nyu now... can u also tell me about the dorms and residence halls? what are they like? which are better? do undergraduates have a choice, if yes then what are the options??</p>
<p>Unless you were admitted early decision, you don't get to pick the actual dorm you want to live in, but you can indicate a preference of the type of NYU freshmen hall you want (traditional style vs. apartment style).</p>
<p>For more info on NYU residence halls, check out:</p>
<p>The residence halls are among the best of any college in the country (all rooms have their own bathrooms, they are more spacious than average dorms, and some have pretty nice facilities). Of course some halls are better than others, and there are trade offs (eg residence halls farther away from classes are normally nicer). </p>
<p>As a NYU freshmen, you'd live in one of the 7 all freshmen dorms. Out of these, I'd reccomend either Hayden, Goddard, Third North, or University Hall.</p>
