Temple Univ or CUNY Hunter?

<p>I want to study Romance Langugaes + Japanese and International relations, be an interpreter/translator and work in Peace Corps.</p>

<p>I am a CA resident....I got $7500 Merit for Temple, so the prices will be equal roughly 15000 for each...is temple better though?---it's just that Hunter seems too cheap..how is it that they are both public yet both so different in price?</p>

<p>both are pretty good colleges… i would go with cuny hunter since they have a pretty good IR program, and youll be in NYC lol… im also looking at Temple, what were your stats if you dont mind me asking…</p>

<p>Have you visited the two colleges? They’re very different. Hunter is on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, in a very desirable neighborhood, but has no campus to speak of. They also offer little to no student housing, and rents nearby are prohibitive. Temple, on the other hand, is in a very marginal area of Philadelphia, but has a real campus and many traditional student activities (e.g. fraternities/sororities, NCAA Division I athletics, etc.). Does the $15k include housing? I really was unaware of any dormitories at Hunter. It’s always been a “commuter school,” although it is an excellent college with very strong departments and faculty.</p>

<p>I have a 1800 sat and 3.84/4.0 gpa…4 on ap eng comp test</p>

<p>I haven’t visited either of them, I live in CA</p>

<p>I don’t mind if the school is uninvolved…as long as it has academic clubs and opportunities…Hunter has a Spanish magazine made by students and intershipsfor translation/interpretation, Temple has many programs and language clubs…it is difficult to find info on temple</p>

<p>I just need fitness facilities and an urban environment where I can intern…which school has a better study abroad program?</p>

<p>I’m actually considering CUNY Hunter. I still have to send in my ACT scores though. Keep forgetting. Ahh… Gotta do that tomorrow.</p>

<p>have you visited? Did you like it?</p>

<p>If you went to CUNY, where would you live? How and when would you locate an apartment? Housing is not guaranteed at all except for the MacCauly honors students I think. In fact most of the CUNY campuses don’t have any dorms. I think Hunter does have a dorm but it can only house a ridiculously small amount of people when compared to the student population.</p>

<p>Oh and Temple has a campus in Tokyo and all financial aid and scholarships transfer. The cost for a semester abroad is the same as a semester on Main Campus.</p>

<p>is the cost different at hunter when abroad?</p>
