<p>NYU is 10k more expensive </p>
<p>My parent's live on the west coast (kinda like to stay here, but I'm up to making a change)</p>
<p>I like the idea of living in a campus bubble, but I heard NYC is worth the sacrifice.</p>
<p>I'm leaning towards NYU mainly for the better prestige and better community/more intelligent kids...but I'm really unsure about spending more money for it. </p>
<p>I don't know!!! Are they about the same in terms of ^^??? What do you guys think? Help! Im dying over here!</p>
<p>Where should I go???</p>
<p>Depends on how much debt you are willing to take on just for an undergrad education.</p>
<p>i’ll have around 50k in debt at nyu and 10k ish at davis</p>
<p>Davis - no brainier. 50K is lot of debt. With interest, you will spend 10+ years to pay your college loans.</p>
<p>I think it comes down to the money and the location. UC Davis IS a science campus, so there are PLENTY of research opportunities. Btw, are you gonna be a Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior major at Davis? I’m not sure what NYU would offer you for a science major, but it is NYC.
If you like the campus bubble, I’m pretty sure you would be happier at UC Davis because that’s what it is. The town including the students does not have more than 100,000 students; it’s very much a college town/city. I’m a freshman at UC Davis and I started hating it here because it was so boring for me just cause I’m a city person at heart. Trying to transfer to NYU for junior year. It would definitely be worth the extra 40-50k for those two years. (i’m just guessing-from other cc member’s stats and stuff)
NYU might be a tiny more prestige, but you’re not doing it for tisch, or stern. You’re gonna be in CAS, which is not bad, but not the absolute best. As I said before, UC Davis is a science based campus, so it’s really not shabby. Besides, going to UC Davis is going to get you a job in the west coast, so add that as a plus in that corner. Lastly, in terms of ranking=NYU is 33rd and UC Davis is 38th, so whatcha talking bout shabby? ;D</p>
