<p>I am a high school senior admitted to both the University of Michigan - LSA (still waiting on preferred admissions decision from Ross School of Business, and New York University - Stern School of Business. </p>
<p>I want to go into the field of sports business.
At UMich, i would try to do their dual-degree in Ross and School of Kinesiology entitled Sports Management/BBA dual degree.</p>
<p>At NYU, I would major in Stern in something like marketing, finance, or management, while attemping to take classes, double major, or maybe minor if possible at the Tisch Center for Sports Management.</p>
<p>Decision Influencers:
1) NYU over 4 years would cost 92,000 total paid to the university, and UMich would cost around 135,000
2) Umich is a traditional college experience in a quintessential college town (i.e. football games, etc.) , which I like a lot and would be happy in. NYU is like living as a new yorker, not a college student, which is more of an uncomfortable situation but I think might help me mature.
3) Although both good business schools, UMich has an edge, but NYU has proximity to money. I also prefer the Umich dual degree rather than trying to play with the system at NYU.
4) I'm not sure how much the government affects the cost of education in a Public school like Michigan, while NYU is private.
5) I would like to attend grad school after I graduate, so does anyone have advice about grad school feeder or acceptances from these two schools.
6) I think my opinion about NYU might be skewed but I am constantly hearing that NYU students are unhappy as a whole and I know a few people who transferred out after freshman year.</p>
<p>Please, If anyone has any incite, information, or even an relatively unbiased opinion, I can really use your help. The more in depth the better.</p>
<p>THANK YOU :]</p>
<p>Here is a calculator that will help you evaluate both of your aid packages, as well as some non-financial factors. [FinAid</a> | Calculators | Advanced Award Letter Comparison Tool](<a href=“Your Guide for College Financial Aid - Finaid”>Your Guide for College Financial Aid - Finaid) You should run your numbers, and see what you think.</p>
<p>While those are also two of my top favorite schools, it’d probably be more beneficial for you to go to Mich because the factors of a better school and the fact that it’s a much better college town (not to mention really good football!) also the fact that you can double major there. Granted if you really like the city atmosphere then go to NYU but I really recommend going to Michigan (: it sounds like you’d prefer Michigan anyways.
PS Michigan is really really awesome!</p>
<p>YOu can’t really go by the experience of others unless their intended career and personalities are very similar to yours. Are those you know who are dissatisfied with NYU interested in sports management?</p>
<p>If I were interested in Sports Mgmt, I’d want to study, do internships and interview in the the sports capital of the world… NYC. Even if NYU were to cost a little more, that NYC location would still make NYU a better career value. The fact that NYU costs significantly less than Michigan makes it an easier choice.</p>
<p>^^^Have you actually ever lived in NYC DunninLA? It’s nothing like LA. The campus at NYU is not even like Columbia. I’d take Ann Arbor over it anyday, but that’s just me.</p>
<p>jrk – yes I am aware that NYU’s “dorms” can be 20 minutes away from the campus, spread all over. My comments were based on career aspirations.</p>
<p>I visited NYU last weekend for the MLK scholars weekend. I loved the city as it was my first time there, but I don’t think that I would be able to handle living in that environment for 4 years, especially as a 17, 18 year old kid from a cali suburb. I am visiting UMich in a couple weeks. I think the traditional campus and college environment would fit my personality better, and they are also, although only slightly, more respected than NYU. When I visit, It’ll be more clear to me if Ann Arbor is a place I want to live for 4 years. </p>
<p>I appreciate everyone’s incite, and keep posting! the more in-depth posts the better!
Thank you guys.</p>
