Transfer Students

<p>Hey guys, I would really appreciate it if someone would be able to give me the breakdown on these two schools and help me in my decision. I am currently a freshman at another NY state school, but I am transferring in the fall. </p>

<p>Up until yesterday, I was set on attending Syracuse university with the hopes of graduating from the Newhouse school of communications. I want to become a talent agent/manger in the entertainment industry, and I know Newhouse would be great for that. They also have great internship placement and alumni connections upon graduation. I also know the social aspect of Syracuse is very fun. In addition, if I never get into Newhouse (it's top 3 in the nation for communications) then I would graduate with liberal arts, which is still good from there I think. The downside is that it's private and costs more than 50k a year. After what my parents can afford, I'll owe about 100k in students loans.</p>

<p>I just recently got into binghamton. Binghamton is the ivy league of NY state schools, great education for the money, but kind of lacks a communication aspect. Also, if I save all that money by going here, I'll have the option of law school.</p>

<p>Can you guys tell me what you think in terms of tuition, education, Newhouse, and employment after graduation?</p>

<p>Thanks!!!</p>

<p>Binghamton definitely has better value. I can see someone spending 50k on a top 20 school, but I just can’t understand why someone would spend that much an average school. If you really have your mind set for communications then go to cuse. Also cuse is more of a party school vs bing. Although bing does have a fair share of instate partiers, they also have tons of students who couldn’t afford ivys .</p>

<p>Do not borrow $100k for undergrad, no matter what.</p>

<p>@nyrcup94 congrats on both the acceptances! I was wondering when you submitted your app for bing and how long it took them to send you a transfer decision.</p>

<p>I’m a freshman, so I tried applying to bing for this springs transfer, but they rejected me b/c I didnt have any college grades to show them. When they rejected me, they offered to difer my application for the fall review. This was in late october. I then sent them my first semester transcript on around Jan 30th, which had my new college gpa on it, and I heard back two days ago.</p>
