You’re definitely splitting hairs. OP didn’t mention engineering nor did I mention i-banking either.
There hundreds and thousands of companies in NYC that need help during the year. It doesn’t matter if what profession you are interested in (journalism, marketing, finance, tech / engineering, etc.)
There are companies that need help during the year. If you put in the work during the year you bet you can find an internship in NYC relevant to your field. Once you have, come the time to find a summer gig, you have a leg up because of your experience. To give you an example I had a comp science friend who was able to convert his part-time comp sci gig at a start-up into a full time gig. He had been working there fro 2 years part-time and by the end they felt very comfortable with him that it didn’t make sense to go and interview candidates when they already had one they could trust. These situations are more prevalent than you think.
I know because I have access to NYU Career website and every time I log in I see thousands of part-time internship postings in all different fields - believe if you take advantage of it’s a huge advantage.
Due to competitive reasons, the NYU students have the pressure to have an internship during the school year as well as the summer. A Michigan grad won’t have any expectation of having an internship during the school year (only the summer) - many view this as a plus.
They both have strong undergraduate business programs, but the experience as a student is very different. NYU has the benefit of the Greenwich Village location, if that is important. Michigan is a more traditional college experience, and has a combination of academic quality and school spirit/sports. Only a handful of schools in the country have what Michigan offers in this regard.
oh yea @intparent im a nursing major! Global Public Health: nursing ( for NYU) and regular nursing for UMichigan
In that case, NYU is not worth the extra cost. Go to Michigan.
@intparent what is that supposed to mean…???
It means that the name on your diploma for nursing really doesn’t matter for job prospects. What matters is that you pass the NCLEX exam. Most nursing programs will prepare you for that. I know you didn’t ask, but do you have more affordable options? If money is an issue at all there are cheaper ways to get a nursing degree that will get you the same job results.
See Nursing School rankings

You will see that NYU and UMich are both #6.
Michigan has an actual campus; NYU does not.
Michigan is reputably stronger in most programs, and overall, though NYU is very strong in its own right.
Michigan has loads of school spirit, probably a very lively campus social scene. NYU’s social scene necessarily revolves around Manhattan. (which is pretty cool too… obviously)
NYU has the advantage for art/cultural access, given its location relatively close to Broadway, MOMA & MMA, etc.
New York City is more expensive than Ann Arbor/Detroit.
So:
Basically, Michigan is a less-expensive, slightly better school on a normal campus… while NYU offers greater access to high art and culture and perhaps NYC banking/finance jobs.
Michigan R&B is $10,500…NYU is $17,500.
That is just one line item: $7k more.
OP, prezbucky nailed it. Go to Michigan.
oh yea theres also cwru but i didn’t really like the school + Upitt/ penn state but they’re all in the same price range
Go to Michigan. My dd is a junior in nursing. U of Michigan hospital is right on campus. Nursing students can work there anytime of the year earning money and experience. Apparently they are in the hospital system because of their clinical, they can ask for the job before anyone else when there is a job opening. A colorful college experience with a great college town. You will love it.
@JH8888 are there any internships that students can take on the summer before sophomore year in college?
@saphiraxylx I am not sure. My D only found out she can ask for a job when there is an opening after sophomore year. An upper classman told her. Once she found out that info, she got a job right away. Nursing student is very busy. The hospital only requires them to work 16 hours/2 weeks as a minimum. So she is able to handle work and study. Other places all require 16 hours/ week at a nimimum. She found that to be too much because the fall semester of junior year they are required to take 18 credits.
She worked as a research assistant in a lab in the medical school during the summer of freshman year. She got her name on a publication thro that job.
There are many opportunities around the campus.
@JH8888 umichigan sounds really really nice right now 
did she find the research position through the school???
She joined a research resident community which you can apply now I guess. You write an essay. Once you are selected, they arrange you to go to various research job interviews. You get to live with other kids in the same community. Then you pick one to do as “work for pay”. You are required to work 5 hours/ week at a minimum. In summer, she increased to 30 hours. She still does that job because she is on the nursing honor program which requires holding a research job.
@JH8888 are the communities only for freshman year or do people in the research community live together all 4 year?
Do nursing majors need to do internships? If so, aren’t there hospitals pretty much everywhere?
