<p>There’s no blanket answer here. If NYU is a better fit and you can afford it, go for it.
These are very different campus cultures…
You’ll get some more prestige, and the advantage of being able to do internships in the city (if there are any left!)
Finance is not the best major right now. Used to be good. Tough to find a job now though.
That said, I know lots of very successful PSU Smeal grads…maybe cause I’m right here in PA.<br>
There was a guy on these board a while back who transferred from PSU Smeal to Mich economics…at a much higher cost…thinking it would be a major move up. I don’t think he found that it was…although Mich certainly has more prestige. The grass is always greener…</p>
