University of Rochester, NYU, and Boston College

<p>most likely these will be the schools i will be debating about attending in the fall</p>

<p>what are the pros and cons of each, from those who know a lot about the school , and/or attend? </p>

<p>looking for as much insight as possilbe. thanks.</p>

<p>NYU > URochester
BC > URochester</p>

<p>but isnt rochester ranked higher than nyu......isnt rochester like 30 and nyu is 37 in the usnews ranking system</p>

<p>what do you want to study?</p>

<p>Go to a school with a CAMPUS. (Ahem, NOT NYU.)</p>

<p>according to the US news, </p>

<p>rochester- 34
nyu- 37
bc- 40</p>

<p>so as far as that goes, they are fairly similar... any students want to comment on their experiecnes at any</p>

<p>Wow, exactly 3 apart from each other. I'd go with BC since it's > Rochester. NYU really needs a campus as it's not a traditional college experience (no fields of perfect green grass and shades of tall trees sheltering hot girls in skirts studying beneath them).</p>

<p>how so is BC better than rochester?</p>

<p>once again, what do you want to study?</p>

<p>not sure for now... i checked off history as thats an interest, but pretty much im undecided</p>

<p>Wow, kcirsch is WRONG</p>

<p>Rochester is technically the best 'ranked' of the three schools, but I think it's realistic to say that all three are very comparable.</p>

<p>rochester and nyu are MUCH better for history.</p>

<p>hahaha he didn't ask about academic quality, I was just responding as to where I would go - I would never go to frigid and unknown Rochester</p>

<p>^^ agreed.</p>

<p>I don't know if Rochester is unknown (certainly carries more scholarly connotations to me than NYU does or even BC), but you're right about frigid!</p>

<p>I would choose based on atmosphere and location. These schools have very different atmospheres and attract a different type of student. The ranks are not different enough to worry about. BC- sports, Catholic, most people want to be there. NYU- huge, impersonal, most people want to be there. Rochester- very high quality education (and offers merit aid), but reportedly many students hoped to end up elsewhere.</p>

<p>guys... i got into Rochester ED, and i ve spoken to a ton of people who are there right now.. and its really not that cold. There wasnt 1/2 as much snow as expected and unless your from california cus then u d be freezing, its easily fixed since their tunnels between buildings etc</p>

<p>"since their tunnels between buildings"</p>

<p>okay and what does that tell you about the weather? lol</p>

<p>ok well i never said it isnt cold or it doesnt snow. I am saying it doesnt affect the fact you still go to classes, you can still go to the city, have a social life etc, you can go skiing snowboarding a lot!!The winter is pretty cold, but in no way disrupts a students life.</p>
