<p>Which would be a better choice for me?
Got into SBU scholars program and nyu cas.
planning on doing pre-med and maybe majoring in bio.
SBU would cost 10-15k while nyu would cost 30-40k.
Which would be better academically(sciences especially),socially(heard stony brook was kind of boring compared to nyu), etc...</p>
<p>computer science i suggest SB, at least i know a transfer student from nyu to SB for this program.</p>
<p>others like physics, are also advantaged in SB.</p>
<p>socially? does there even have a comparison?</p>
<p>SB has very strong medical/biological science programs, as does NYU.
I say go to SB based on academics and tuition, because SB is pretty much at an equal level as top privates/Ivies in many of the sciences, the biological sciences being at the top.</p>
<p>But consider the environment of SB too, like the fact that it’s suburban-rural (but 2hrs away from NYC)</p>
<p>Socially, SB will what you make of it. You can be in the party scene, or academic scene, or find some middle ground in between. Plus, with it’s proximity to NYC, you’ll probably find a group of people/friends who’ll go every now and then/often</p>
