<p>i was admitted by purdue university in major of agricultural economics, but also got in Fordham university in major of international political economy, i wonder is agricultural economics in purdue good? Which school should I go in????</p>
<p>PS My girlfriend decided to go to Purdue.</p>
<p>I have no idea how good that major at Purdue is. I do know that the IPE at Fordham is awesome and very rigorous and its New York and its Jesuit. </p>
<p>Is cost a factor for you?</p>
<p>jiji2010,</p>
<p>Dude, your girlfriend decided to go to Purdue? Then Fordham by all means!!!</p>
<p>I don’t think cost can affect my choice. What I want to choose is a school that really fit to me and preparing me a bright future. I heard that Agriculture Economics in Purdue is good too, however can you specifically explain to me why you think that IPE at Fordham is awesome. Another concern is that since I am an international student and not a jesuit. I wonder whether if I will feel lonely or bad by going to Fordham, I definitely won’t feel lonely if I go to Purdue with my girlfriend, but it may be a little boring. What is your opinion? Thanks!!!</p>

<p>Why your accent made me feel that you dislike your girfriend. I don’t quite understand what is the disadvantage of being together with my girlfriend. as you know dude, separation is always heartbreaking.</p>
<p>The only one who can answer this question is you. Honestly, I don’t know a lot about Purdue but the couple of friends I have who graduated from there are very good. I think Fordham is the stronger academic institution. But the fact is you are looking at two very different schools and two very different programs–huge state school vs. mid-size Jesuit school; agribusiness vs international; NYC v. Indiana. You definitely don’t have to be Jesuit to be comfortable at Fordham so I wouldn’t let that be a factor in your decision. If at all possible (it is harder since you are an international student), it would be great to visit both campuses - I’m guessing they are so different that one will feel immediately more comfortable. I wouldn’t let where your girlfriend is going influence your decision either way - you need to find the place that is right for you.</p>
<p>Thank you for your comment, I am wondering if it is right to go to college with girlfriend? Unfortunately, I can’t have the chance to visit school. So it is very hard for me to make a decision, I try to avoid the influence of my girlfriend but it’s very hard for me to do that.</p>
<p>How old are you? Going to college with a gf or bf is always a bad idea. Kids meet new kids and being young they are not as committed as you might think. A lot of growing up occurs at college. Kiss your girlfriend goodbye and wish her luck.</p>
<p>Besides, Agricultural Economics at Purdue is about Farm Management. </p>
<p>IPE is about Global Economics and Political Economics. Doh!</p>
<p>How old are you?</p>
<p>Never mind, go to Purdue. Better fit for you. Thanks.</p>
<p>Since visiting the two campuses is impossible, all I can recommend is that you sit down, with pen and paper and try to figure out which school is the best fit. Write down the pros and cons of each place. Take the online tours of the campus. Maybe even call someone at the two schools with any questions you have. Again, nobody can make this choice but you. You need to think about what you really want to study (agriculture v international economics), the size of campus, the personal attention you will get in your education (far more at Fordham since it is smaller) and if you want a big time campus or a smaller campus in NYC. I wouldn’t pick a school that isn’t the right fit just becasue your girlfriend is going there. If you were meant to stay together, you will.</p>
