<p>I've been pretty confused lately, mostly because NYU is a hard financial burden for me. The loans are gonna be killer, and I won't even have a Master's Degree by the time I graduate. I'll also have to commute from Staten Island; not so tough in it's own right, but an issue nonetheless.</p>
<p>I have the opportunity to attend my safety school, completley free of charge. My parents have alreadya greed that, should i attend here, i would be allowed to rent out an apartment (roughly the cost of an NYU dorm for 1 yr). So the issue arises: I know i want my masters, i know i want to attend NYU--</p>
<p>would it be best to be a UG at my safety and apply for grad school at NYU? Is it the same/similar kind of 'feel?' I kind of think that Grad school has a more professional attitude, but than again what do i know about grad school?</p>
<p>Its a difficult decision, and for all those who would reply, i ask for honest opinions rather than selling-points and sales pitches. thanks</p>
