<p>I was accepted to both Fordham and Hunter College. Hunter costs about 11000 while Fordham afford 24,000 award so I need to pay about 17000 with a 5000 loan a yr. Is Fordham worth the extra $6000 a yr with the loan?
Also, I apply majoring in biological science, which school has a stronger science major? And if i decide to change majors, what other majors does these school offer?
lastly, I wanted a safe, closely knit school communities. Since both colleges are big schools, what are the campus environment there? Is it a party school? Is it friendly with supportive faculty?
Any advice? Thanks in advance! Oh, also Juniata college is still considering me. it has a strong science program but it didn't give me a finanical package yet and is much farther away from me. Should i wait for them to reply?</p>
<p>Fordham is not worth 1K more than Hunter let along 13K per year. Go to Hunter.</p>
<p>Hunter College is very reputable, especially for its science programs. If you’re thinking of doing a science major, you’ll definitely learn a lot at Hunter.
Also, it’ll save you a buttload of money for if you decide to go to grad school.</p>
<p>Debt is real - go with Hunter</p>
<p>I would go with Hunter—reputable, well-known (at least within NY) and a good school. Highly unlikely you will be in debt when you graduate.</p>
<p>Hunter. Fordham is not worth the extra money, and Hunter’s considered one of the better CUNYs, and certainly a quality school. A teeny bit (not even that much) of name power isn’t worth 6k a year.</p>
