Hi guys I’m in need of desperate help.
I have been accepted to both Fordham (Lincoln Center campus) and Macaulay Honors College at CUNY (specifically at the Brooklyn College campus). I have no idea which to choose. My current major is Communications.
For Fordham, I’d have to pay around 15k if the tuition for the class of 2023 is 52k. Fordham is a great school and holds an amazing reputation. Also, the name looks great on an employee’s resume.
Macaulay gives you completely free tuition, along with a Macbook. Additionally, they give their students $7500 per year to study abroad and to use for school expenses. Macaulay is considered as a phenomenal program, and it’s extremely selective and rigorous.
As you can see, I have two great options to choose from. Macaulay is an outstanding program but Fordham is also a great school! Is graduating debt free a deal breaker? Or is the fact that Macaulay is a CUNY program a bit of a turn-off,- considering the reputation CUNY schools have in general?
Let me know what you think and thank you for the help!!!
