These two schools are completely different, I understand that. My son has a choice of either and it is the fact that both have so many positives and so few negatives that makes the decision more difficult for him. I’m looking for some feedback from people about the academic level of Bucknell and NYU for a kid looking to major in economics (at this point). According to US News and Princeton review they seem quite comparable. Either way, not a bad choice for him. He had some other nice options but has wound up with these two.
