U Conn vs. Pace BFA program?

<p>My son got into NYU Tisch for acting, unfortunatly like most people we cant afford it.
(was # 1 choice)
After eliminating the eight other schools he is now ready to decide between
University of Connecticut & Pace University for a BFA in acting.<br>
He likes U Conn as a school better, but thinks being in New York City for 4 years may be more important. They both have good acting programs from what we can tell.
Any advice?
Thank you
