<p>I am a Biochem Major. Also include St. Johns Univ...Which is an overall better institution (academics/diversity/professors/etc...)...I am planning on transferring to Fordham/NYU so perhaps staying close to home (NY) is a more wise decision...Please rate the schools anyhow. Thanks.</p>
<p>why not just go to a CC if you're planning on transferring?</p>
<p>Because I can afford a 4 year and I dont want to be in the atmosphere of a community college, Im not sure how happy i would be there... Any more opinions?</p>

<p>scranton and fordham are of similar selectivity, why not apply to fordham?</p>
<p>are they really similiar in selectivity? i thought fordham was alot more selective.</p>
<p>If you're from NYC, do you really want to go to school in boring, staid Long Island? Go with Scranton, it's in the middle of nowhere but at least it'll provide an altogether different type of setting. It's a strong Jesuit school too, although Adelphi is not too shabby either.</p>
<p>ok but my question if i want a semi diverse campus, with strong academics to boot and good professors..which would suit me best? thank you</p>

<p>Having a daughter who just graduated from Scranton, I'd have to say that would be my choice. However, I really don't have any experience with Adelphi or St. John's. The biochem dept. at Scranton is very strong with a high percentage of med. school acceptances. D loved the majority of her professors (particulary the Jesuits), but every school has some faculty that are not as good. It is not a very diverse campus, but I think they are trying to work on that. Fordham is very good, also. Their President is the previous president at Scranton. Awesome person.</p>
