nyu vs. usc honors

<p>I got into NYU, for the college of arts and sciences and i got into the university of south carolina honors program. is nyu worth the money? and where do you think the education would be better?</p>

<p>It’s next to impossible to answer which college is better without having more information about what you want to get out of your college experience and/or do with your life. </p>

<p>If you’re planning on pursuing a career in which social networks and business contacts are important, then I would recommend NYU – unless you’re planning on staying in South Carolina, in which case USC might be better (or at least just as good).</p>

<p>Another important consideration is what major you think you want to pursue. Even if one university is generally better than another, sometimes the “worse” school has a better program in your area of interest.</p>

<p>Also, how important is culture to your notion of a good education? At NYU, you would have the opportunity to explore vastly more culture-rich experience than at USC.</p>

<p>Still, honors colleges usually doth have their advantages. How valuable are USC’s honor program perks? For some people, a perk like taking more than the normal maximum number of credit hours is huge and allows them to finish school in three years instead of four.</p>

<p>Well, in college, I am hoping to pursue a career in medicine. I do not know what kind of doctor I want to be, but I do know for sure that I want to be a doctor. I want to go to the college which will best prepare me for getting into medical school and which will help me be successful in everything I do. Of course, I will have to work hard wherever I go, but I want to know which choice is the best, for what I want to do. NYU is very expensive, but it is a well known college, well respected, and the education must be just as good. It is filled with influential people, and in the future, I want to live in New York. I just don’t know if it is worth it, paying almost 50,000 a year for a college. I know, if money was not an issue, I would definitely go to NYU, no doubt. But, because of money, I want to make sure I make the right decision. If I have a better chance of getting into medical school from USC honors, I want to go there and if I have a better chance of getting into medical school from NYU, then I want to go there. My dad told me that it did not matter where I went for undergraduate, because in the end, my MCAT score and my grades and class rank are ultimately what its going to come down to. I do not know what I want to major in yet…but it will most likely be Biology. I still need to think about that. And yes, NYU will definitely offer me a wider variety of people and cultures and I do think that is important, but I am definitely wanting to base my decision on which college will provide me with a higher chance of getting into medical school and which school will provide me with a better education overall. I should probably learn more about each, and I have looked on websites and college forums, but I am having a hard time finding an answer. I have tried calling both schools and asking for their medical school acceptance rates, but I have not been very successful for that. Thank you for your answer though and if you could reply to this, that would be wonderful, because I am very confused right now.</p>
