<p>Hi, I am finally down to two colleges now. I am accepted to Manhattan College, Syracuse University, RIT, NYU-Poly, and the CUNY's. Due to the proximity of other colleges, I decided to take only NYU-Poly and CCNY into consideration. By the way, my major is Chemical Engineering.</p>
<p>NYU-Poly offered me its Alumni Promise Scholarship which was $16k per year. However, I just submitted my FAFSA a week ago and I hope I get NYU-Poly's Need-Based Grant which can be up to $18k a year. Along with my Pell Grant which is $5,550, I believe I can get a full ride to NYU-Poly ONLY if I do get that grant. However, a few people told me that the classes/courses in NYU-Poly are exceptionally difficult. I am not afraid of the difficulty of the courses but I am afraid that I might not be able to have a social life due to intense studying. If it's possible, can people from NYU-Poly help me clarify how social life and difficulty of the courses in NYU-Poly are? </p>
<p>CCNY(Grove School of Engineering) is a very good program for engineering. It is about 1.5 hours away from my house, similar to that of NYU-Poly. In addition to that, I also get money back from my financial aid, about $2k-$3k per semester. So that's pretty good since I don't have to pay anything out of my pocket whatsoever. </p>
<p>I just don't know which one to go to. Please assist me! Thank you very much guys!</p>
<p>I got accepted to NYU-Poly and rejected from Syracuse, Union College and RPI. I got wait listed for Hofstra but I denied it. I am still waiting on RIT but anyways: Right now I am going to NYU-Poly because I don’t have anywhere else to go but if I were you I would go to Syracuse or RIT. NYU-Poly is not necessarily “NYU”. If you chose not to go to RIT or Syracuse go to CCNY just don’t go to NUY-Poly unless your in my position.</p>
<p>Well NYU-Poly is a pretty good school. A lot of companies and firms come through when it’s a career-planning day and most of them usually get recruited and that’s what I really want. However, the tuition and all are just so expensive that I’m not even sure if I should loan money and go there.</p>
<p>NYU-Poly is a very good school, but very hard to study. A lot of departments are changing they policy and make everything even more harder. So i guess it is a good choice for you.</p>
