Syracuse vs. Binghamton:MS Accounting(Urgent)

Colleges and Universities A-Z Syracuse University

<p>HI guys, I got admited as a transfer student for the spring to both Syracuse and Binghamton, accounting program. I will have 3 more years at one of these two schools to get my MS accounting degree and take CPA.</p>

<p>I don't have many days to decide since the deadline for deposit is Dec 30th.
So please give me some advice. I really don't know which one I should choose.</p>

<p>After scholarship and financial aid, I need to pay approximately $8000 for everything including housing at syracuse university. Binghamton---$0.</p>

<p>I heard the accounting program at Binghamton has a very strong reputation, big four recruit at Bing heavily every year, and I have no pressure since I don't need to pay for anything.</p>

<p>However, Syracuse as a private school, and SOM has a 42 ranking in the nation, might give me a even better service and education. And I think I will get more scholarship in the second semester there so forget the cost.</p>

<p>So the most important part is which school has a stronger reputation in MS accounting and will give me a better oppotunity to get good interships and jobs in the future?</p>

<p>Please give me some advice, I will really appreciate it. Thank you and have a great holiday!</p>

<p>In my opinion, Binghamton is a much stronger school overall.</p>

<p>well i dunno about the specific program but syracuse is the stronger school overall. it's ranked 50th in the nation. as for accounting, i dunno.</p>

<p>The ranking system you're most probably referring to is absolutely ridiculous. To say Syracuse is a better school than Binghamton is such an ignorant statement. As a whole, Binghamton towers over Syracuse and this difference is supported by the admission statistics.</p>

<p>^thanks for those stats. i did not know that. im glad you backed your statement up this time. im just reporting what i've seen online...lol. it's all subjective to me, i don't follow ranking. i was trying to provide the OP with a different outlook.</p>
