<p>I have always wanted to go to NYU but after getting different perspectives and feedback...I am reconsidering. I want to major in Business...perhaps marketing, and I wanted to go to Stern, but my brother who graduated from there said I should consider CAS, since I am more of the 'artsy' type and would meet more interesting people rather than the asian finance dudes. I just looked at some other colleges and BC is dividing my heart in two. </p>
<p>I live in upstate NY but frequent the city quite often and I don't know what I really want. When I was at Brown for camp for 3 weeks, I have to admit I missed the city a lot--the diversity, the food, the events etc. But if I went to NYU I feel that I'd miss out on the true college experience and the campus. </p>
<p>I think that I would be happy at either, so then it comes down to which school would provide me more opportunities and jobs. I think I could get into BC and NYU (CAS) but stern would be iffy. Any guidance?</p>
<p>get into the schools first, then decide. its odd that you like them both because they are polar opposites. One has a campus, the other doesnt. one has sports, the other doesnt</p>
<p>Well if you went to NYU CAS you couldn’t study Marketing. The closest thing to a Business major is CAS-Econ but that’s still liberal arts. My boyfriend’s in Stern Finance and most of his friends aren’t even in Stern - people have friends across all the NYU schools. Haha and I found the “asian finance dudes” comment really funny because I was sitting outside Stern the other day and saw like 40 asian guys standing there and then I realized it was a Stern freshmen tour lol. </p>
<p>Definitely visit both. Remember BC is just outside Boston so you would still have the city nearby, while getting the traditional college experience. BC is small, has a beautiful campus, is more sports oriented and has a strong sense of community and lots of school spirit. It’s also more homogeneous and stereotyped as “preppy white catholic kids”. NYU is large, no one cares about sports, there’s no campus and the social life revolves around the city, and you sort of have to find your own little community at NYU because we’re not that school-spirited compared to most colleges. The students are often stereotyped as “artsy hipster types” although Stern isn’t like that lol. BC will give you the traditional experience, NYU a nontraditional, more urban experience. Both are great colleges imo, academics will be strong at both schools.</p>
<p>If you’re still unsure after visiting, just apply RD to both. you still have a long time to decide.</p>
