<p>I narrowed my college search down to 2 colleges in NYC
Fordham University and CUNY Honors program at Baruch
Please state your opinions on these 2 colleges</p>
<p>Fordham University has an excellent campus
link here: <a href="http://www.fordham.edu/audience/tours/rh_map.shtml%5B/url%5D">http://www.fordham.edu/audience/tours/rh_map.shtml</a>
it obviously has a great reputation and offers great programs and internships
and on top of that the girls outnumbers the boys 2:1 (good for boys like me ^_^)
the only problem I have with Fordham is its diversity, I spent a couple of hours on their campus and I have hardly saw any diversity, it looked to me about 95% are White and since I'm not(I'm Indian) I think I am going to have a harder time fitting in</p>
<p>CUNY Honors has a tagline that the whole city is their campus, and in a way they are right because you can go to any of their colleges to take classes and a big advantage of going there I think is the cultural passport that give to their students which allows them to pretty much go to any place of educational value in the city(ex: plays, operas, museums etc...)</p>
<p>CUNY Honors has only about 150 students so there is lots of individual attention and they offer great programs
they also have excellent internship and study abroad programs
the biggest advantage that they have is that its completely free and they give you $7,500 every year to spend and free laptop
Unlike Fordham they have great diversity
the only problem I have with CUNY Honors is that even though its a great program, lot of people dont know about it that much yet since its relatively new(5 years)
this might be a problem since I want to go to an Ivy league for my masters and I might have a harder time going there from CUNY honors than in Fordham
I cant be to sure about the above comment since there has been only one graduating class of CUNY Honors so I'm not sure about how many students got accepted to Ivy leagues for their master(but I know some of them have)</p>
<p>In the end I guess it comes down to a couple of points
Fordham would provide an excellent campus life(also good looking girls ^_^)
CUNY Honors would provide an excellent education and taps into every single resource the city has to offer</p>
<p>the downside to Fordham is that it doesnt have a great deal of diversity and I'm not sure I can fit in easily because I am Indian
the downside to CUNY honors is that it doesnt have a big a name as Fordham even though its harder to get into CUNY Honors
and I'm also not so sure the chance of getting to Ivy leagues from there since its a pretty new program</p>
<p>where do you think is the better place to go?</p>
