<p>I know there are a lot of threads about michigan versus NYU, but I wanted to get advice particular to me.</p>
<p>I was accepted to NYU Stern and I live in New Jersey so it is very good as far as location and I have always loved the city. But the city isn't a bonus for me, but by no means is the "no campus" a negative either.</p>
<p>I was accepted to Michigan (LSA) and I didn't apply direct to Ross. I was also given the opportunity to take honors classes in math (my strongest subject) and science.</p>
<p>I realize Stern is top for finance, but honestly I am not positive what area of business I would like to focus on. Either way, I would also like to minor in political science, and I believe Michigan's poly sci program is better than NYU's.</p>
<p>Cost isn't really a big issue, though it is a factor considering NYU is notably more expensive.</p>
<p>I am Asian and a big sports fan, so I do think I would like the sports at Michigan, but in NYC you still get the Yankees (my favorite team) and different things that you simply don't get anywhere else.</p>
<p>And the networking at NYU is definitely better, though Michigan's is right there behind them.</p>
<p>So, what do you guys recommend? Is there any better choice, or is it a good choice either way? Any suggestions are welcomed, but please tell me why rather than just trashing one school or another. Thanks</p>
<p>I like Ann Arbor and I’d like to go to UM, but I find it hard to believe that anyone thinks AA is >>> much better than NYC, besides a Wolverine. Unless you don’t like big cities, but the OP seems pretty neutral about living in the city.</p>
<p>The cities are very different for sure. Now if Proud Wolverine said Michigan campus>>>NYU, then I would be in total agreement. Also being from your region of the middle atlantic, you cannot understand the huge impact and pageantry of college football in particular on most of the U.S. There really is nothing else quite like it.</p>
<p>I guess it really depends on one’s own preference. I think Ann Arbor would be a far more ideal place for college students to spend their 4 years in. It’s safe, cosmopolitan for its size, picturesque, quintessential, and provides that exceptionally intellectual atmosphere.</p>
<p>I would choose Stern. In the new American economy the internships that Stern will afford you year round for 4 years are priceless for landing a good job upon graduation.</p>
<p>I’d say Michigan. C’mon, you’re going to spend 40+ years chained to a desk in a cubicle. You don’t need to start in college. If you got into Honors at Michigan you’ll get into Ross which is in every relevant respect as good as Stern. Plus you’ll have a real college experience, campus life, Big Ten sports, and the world’s largest alumni network. Don’t get me wrong: I love New York City. But this is your one and only chance to have four years of the college experience, yours for the asking in A2; not so much in Washington Square.</p>
<p>If you are willing to work hard, you definitely have a chance at Ross, and I would consider Ross better than Stern in undergraduate Business. Ross is ranked 3rd in the nation.</p>
<p>radioboy, Michigan’s alumni network is actually greater than NYU’s. </p>
<p>Plasma and coolege, I thonk ProudWolverine meant that for college students, Ann Arbor is greater than NYC. I tend to agree. For young professionals and tourists, NYC obviously has more to offer than Ann Arbor. But for college students and estalbished adults, I think Ann Arbor is more appealing.</p>
