<p>Haha, no I'm not in at either of these yet, but I'm trying to decide whether or not to apply ED at NYU (St. A doesn't offer an ED option) next year. Which one is stronger in academics? What is the international reputation of each? What have you heard about St. A? I know a lot of people in my school who go on to NYU, but I haven't heard very much about St. Andrews.</p>
<p>…I’ve never even heard of st andrews</p>
<p>it’s in scotland and has a good reputation throughout europe (prince william’s an alumni). the only question is- whose reputation is better?</p>
<p>wqhy would we know anythign about a school in scotland…</p>
<p>I never heard about it myself. At best, I heard about London School of Economics, Cambridge, and Oxford, but that’s it. </p>
<p>Your decision depends on this important factor:</p>
<ul>
<li>US and English degrees are not always accepted outside their respective countries.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you want to work in the US, go to NYU.
If you want to work in United Kingdom, go to St. Andrew.</p>
<p>If you do not care where you will work, look at the opportunities and their academic program.</p>
<p>NYU has NYC so every opportunity of sorts is available here. Scotland, I am not so sure about it but for business it’s probably not a good idea. I never heard of Scotland being a financial services place.</p>
<p>I’m a senior this year and have narrowed down my choices to St. Andrews and NYU! So I have to make this decision by May 1st! I am so excited by both schools, especially since I’m majoring in international relations which these two schools do extremely well. St A’s has a great reputation and would actually be cheaper than NYU (believe it or not). I also love traveling and Scotland sounds SO cool. Then again NYU is in New York City for crying out loud and would be amazing. I have definate worries that going to St A’s I’d miss my family and friends while NYU is a 3 hour train ride. I can see myself in both places but I’m going nuts trying to decide!!! PLEASE HELP!!!</p>
<p>Since you going to be there at least 4 years, Scotland will be a different and new culture and a big adjustment. I doubt you will commute 3 hours to NYU, you should dorm or rent an apartment (in Brooklyn or Queens where it is cheaper, ~ 1 hour commute). 3 hours is simply too long for you to enjoy the life in the city.</p>
<p>Not sure schools in the UK are 4 years. I believe only 3.</p>
