<p>I am currently attending a 2 year community college and I am in my second year. I am having much trouble in deciding where to transfer to for my last two years. I will be majoring in Business Admin./Management. If anyone can give me their advice on the top business schools and who is recruited greatly, I would appreciate this so much!!!! Thank You</p>
<p>More Info.------- I am in search of the best business school in the U.S. offering the best job opportunities after graduation, both private and public I am a 3.8 student. Any advice on what school is best for me????</p>
<p>I have read numerous reports- in college books as well as from current students- saying that the cost of existing as a NYU student is very high. There are plusses to being in NYC, of course, but the lack of a true campus environment leads to a lot more expenses.</p>
<p>Cornell University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences should be on your short list...a great undergraduate business program at an Ivy for state college price. It has a history of accepting transfers, so check it out.</p>
<p>nyusternman, could you pls elaborate on this ...</p>
<p>I was planning to apply to penn and stern, but i've been
discouraged by what a lot of people say about the costs of attending nyu. When I went to visit columbia, they talked about how you have guaranteed housing in nyc .. that you can't dream about in tyour working years.</p>
<p>Does nyu gurantee housing all four years in college? Can you get summer internships that cover the costs (columbia said they have more internships than freshman students top fill them).</p>
<p>I've lived in NYC my entire life and don't know why people always say it's more expensive. A cup of coffee at Starbucks is the same price as a cup of coffee in Nowheresville, Alabama. You only spend more money if you want to. You can walk ten blocks to a park or you can spend the $2.00 and take the subway. You can buy a $1.50 hot dog or go to the student cafeteria and use your meal plan.</p>
<p>Of course I only mean it's the same for college students, since your housing is being paid separately. But if we're talking after college, then the only thing would be the higher cost of having a home/apartment comparatively. But hey, Long Island is worse.</p>
<p>Guys, NYC is expensive as heck. But there are many great and affordable venues for students. As for NYU itself, it is roughly as expensive as most private universities:</p>
<p>Cornell University: $40,000 (tuition + room and board)</p>
<p>MIT: $40,000 (tuition + room and board)</p>
<p>NYU: $41,000 (tuition + room and board)</p>
<p>University of Pennsylvania: $40,000 (tuition + room and board</p>
<p>I don't see how NYU is any more expensive than any other private university.</p>
<p>US NEWS says these are the top Undergraduate Business schools:</p>
<p>1.University of Pennsylvania (Wharton)
2.Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Sloan)
3.University of California--Berkeley (Haas)
4.University of Michigan--Ann Arbor
5.New York University (Stern)
6.Carnegie Mellon University
7.U. of North Carolina--Chapel Hill (Kenan-Flagler)
8.University of Texas--Austin (McCombs)
9.University of Southern California (Marshall)
10.University of Virginia (McIntire)</p>
<p>This question shifts the OP's original q. a bit, but I am wondering what schools you'd suggest for my s. who wants to be a business/finance major and wants to stay in the south. Schools on the list so far are Emory, Vanderbilt, UNC-Ch Hill, U of Fla, UGA, UT-Austin, Tulane (hopefullly back in good shape when my s. is a college freshman in 2008), UVa (which is close to his "its too far north" rule). Possibly considering College of Charleston as a "likely". Any other schools to recommend??</p>
<p>My take on the folks who tell you NYU will cost you more is their belief w/ factual backup that NYU is stingy with financial aid.....that is what I am getting from the comments. The tuition is roughly comparable and housing is not the issue......it is the propensity to spend more on entertainment because it is so readily available and the lesser amounts of grants to loans.</p>
<p>Jym, your list is excellent. UNC-Chapel Hill and UT-Austin are awesome. UVA is also excellent. Emory is solid, but I do not believe Vanderbilt offers Business to undergrads. I could be wrong though.</p>
<p>I would add a couple of schools to your list:</p>
<p>University of Alaska...hehe kidding.</p>
<p>Georgia Institute of Technology
Texas A&M University-College Station (Mays)
Southern Methodist University (Cox)
University of South Carolina-Columbia (Moore)
Wake Forest University (Calloway)</p>
<p>And if you consider West coast as the south, then you can add:</p>
<p>Arizona State University (Carey)
University of Arizona (Eller)
University of California-Berkeley (Haas)
University of Southern California (Marshall)</p>
<p>Thanks Alexandre!
I'd forgotten to mention that he'd like to consider CA schools, but I would love some input as to whether the distance is justifiable...
The in-laws in Tucson would love your additiona reccs. I'd forgotten abut the AZ schools. Thanks.</p>
