<p>Hi, which of the above two school is better academically and would w offer better value for money? Are they regconised outside of their state? I have to make a decision for spring 2013 as soon as possible as I have to apply for a visa and stuff since I'm an international. </p>

<p>I do not want my dad to spend a bunch of cash on a poorly recognised degree</p>

<p>I would appreciate all feedback. Thanks. I am studying kinesiology/sports science</p>

<p>They seem to be on equal grounds academically; Rutgers NB ranked higher than SUNY Buff according to US NEWS( do such ranking matter to employers?) at 68th and 106th respectively.</p>

<p>and according to payscale.com(<a href="http://www.payscale.com/college-salary-report-2013/northeast-schools%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.payscale.com/college-salary-report-2013/northeast-schools&lt;/a&gt;), Rutgers NB grads have a better starting pay than SUNY buff-
(Rutgers University - New Brunswick $48,500; University at Buffalo (UB) $43,200)</p>

<p>But take into consideration the cost peryr at Rutgers NB $37,805 vs SUNY buff $33,500.</p>

<p>Which school is more valued by employers?
Which school would you choose if u are in my position?. </p>

<p>I cant visit either campus since I am not in the USA right now. I applied as an int. transfer.</p>

<p>I would choose Rutgers because it has a better reputation among recruiters and companies. </p>

<p>I would not go by US newsweek ranking because they are very biased and they rank differently. Look at Wall Street ranking which places Rutgers a lot higher or look at this world university ranking released for 2012</p>

<p>If money is your primary concern, you shouldn’t even be considering college. Drop out, and start your own business.</p>
