<p>I applied to many schools, but b/c of recent events the only schools that are viable financially after scholarships are Baruch, New Paltz, and Iona.</p>
<p>Does anyone recommend one over the other?I plan on a major in Finance/statistics.</p>
<p>Thank you for any input.</p>
<p>I’ve heard wonderful things about Baruch Honors for business.</p>
<p>I would say that New Paltz is the way to go. It was named “hottest small state school in America” by Newsweek. It’s a real up and comer in the SUNY system. My son just transferred here and is enjoying it.
The business school has a good reputation. Check it out.

If you want a school that has a friendly, creative, down to earth student body and a fun, artsy college town with everything in walking distance to each other in a close knit community than this is the place. It’s also got Poughkeepsie nearby and a 1 1/2 hour bus ride to NYC.
Any questions feel free to ask.</p>
<p>I think a major question here is: do you or don’t you want to spend your four college years in the city?</p>
<p>Well, I live in Dutchess County and I’m getting pretty tired of having to drive half an hour to get anywhere (which i will deal with when going to NP). I’m also not fond of Poughkeepsie. On the other hand New Paltz has or seems to have a community while baruch does not. Internship opportunities is also another big concern for me.</p>
<p>Baruch is AACSB accredited while New Paltz is not, can anyone validate whether this accreditation means anything?</p>
<p>If anyone has any input on Baruch’s Quantitative Methods and Modeling program, comments would be appreciated.</p>
<p>I appreciate the posts and advice.</p>
