Can u afford it? In terms of ranking vs. cost and job recruitment, NYU for engineering seems to be a lousy value proposition. Job recruiters favor hiring engineers from big State U. And big State U typically does not involve shouldering student loan debt that you’ll still be paying off when your kids are getting ready to go to college.
