SUNY uni at BUffalo or RUTGERS New Brunswick ?

<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>Both a very highly respected.<br>
Both are members of the AAU.
Both have a lot of alumni in the New York City metro area.
Buffalo educates more Canadians (right on the boarder by Niagara Falls)
Rutgers will get a boost with the recent joining of the Big Ten Conference.</p>

<p>They both are good choices; pick the one you like best. For your program it won’t matter which one you pick.</p>

<p>I remember someone saying that Buffalo offers some full tuition scholarships, none that I can remember for Rutgers unless you are instate.</p>

<p>I will give the nod to Rutgers simply for the fact it is closer to New York City, which should open up more opportunities. The weather in Buffalo should be a concern, too.</p>

<p>thanks for the input </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([Northeast</a> Schools by Salary Potential ? PayScale College Salary Report 2012-13](<a href=“http://www.payscale.com/college-salary-report-2013/northeast-schools]Northeast”>http://www.payscale.com/college-salary-report-2013/northeast-schools)), 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/yr at Rutgers NB $37,805 vs SUNY buff $33,500.</p>

<p>I suppose am most concerned with probably how value for money the school. An international education that is worth the money.
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>
