NYU(Gallatin) or Soka U of America?

<p>I brought this up in yasi's Gallatin thread, but I thought it would be a good idea to get everyone else's opinion. I just got off the waitlist last week, and I'm still trying to make a decision. No one has ever heard of Soka University, but I have free tuition there, and I wouldn't be that upset if I went. However, NYU's programs are exactly what I am looking for in my college education. The bad thing about going to NYU is I won't have any money left for grad school if I decide to go. So basically, I'm asking if the $50,000+ a year is worth it for everything I could want. Thanks for the help!</p>

<p>This is Soka's website.
Soka</a> University of America: California Private University for undergraduate, graduate and Study abroad Programs</p>

<p>It might be easier for you to go to a better grad school from NYU than Soka. People always say it doesn't matter where you go, but it really does.</p>

<p>Take that for what it's worth.</p>

<p>Soka University has an exceptional record of getting its graduates into grad school. About 35% of SUA’s graduates usually go on to graduate programs – and they have been accepted at:
