University of Rhode Island vs University of Buffalo for either Mechanical Engineering or Accounting. Been accepted to both and a decision needs to be made by Thursday! - Any help appreciated.
Does anyone have any opinions?
My son is finishing his Freshman year at URI. I don’t know anything about Buffalo. URI’s campus is beautiful. The RIPTA (bus) can bring you to Providence, Newport, the beach etc. Amtrak less than 2 miles from campus. Engineering has 4 freshman dorms with RAMs (Resident Academic Mentors) living in them. The freshman are all taking Calc, Physics and Chem so it is nice to have a resource in your living environment. Are there financial incentives to go to one school over the other?
I can tell you what you already know. Buffalo has rated programs (USNWR) in both engineering and business. Buffalo is a comprehensive university where you will have many academic and social options. Good luck with your decision.
