USC, NYU, or University of Chicago

College Search & Selection
1

<p>After being accepted into 10 colleges, I have narrowed it down to these three schools. It is a very difficult decision: </p>

<p>USC - Pros: California weather, 26K a year, better looking girls (it's true), more fun... / Cons: Less Academic Quality, Less Prestigious in terms of Major</p>

<p>NYU - Pros: New York City, Probably a Finance major, Stern Scholars' Program, 17K a year..../ Cons: New York City (Cost), Less Social Life, okay girls</p>

<p>University of Chicago - Pros: If I attend, Econ major, good standing for MBA, overall academic experience / Cons: Where the fun dies, bad-looking girls (in comparison), less social life, 7K a year</p>

<p>So give me some help on where I should end up choosing? All this goes out of sight if I get off the waitlist at Yale or Penn tho :)</p>

<p>From academic/prestige standpoint UChicago is WAY better (even for the same money), in your case good-looking girls should be REALLY important for you not to go there.</p>

<p>Just to clarify, it appears mikey is RECEIVING $7k of financial aid from Chicago, as it is listed as a "con" - while he would be receiving $17k and $26k from NYU and USC, respectively. Those figures are not the costs he is expected to pay, and either school would thus be cheaper than Chicago.</p>

<p>If you do commit to Chicago, also make sure that you're willing to go the whole way. You'll be getting a fantastic academic experience, yes, but you will also be reading a lot of Marx and Plato and Freud.</p>
