Villanova vs NYU vs Haverford vs Colgate

College Search & Selection

<p>I already ruled out Haverford and Colgate for other reasons. </p>

<p>I currently go to University of South Carolina. </p>

<p>I have been accepted to both NYU and Nova for economics. </p>

<p>I have a very difficult dilemma though. </p>

<p>I absolutely love the close knit community, school pride, and the beautiful campus of Villvanova. That's what I've always wanted in a college. </p>

<p>Knowing people that go to nyu, they all say that it takes awhile to get used to. There is NO campus community. It feels as if you are living in the city while going to school, not vice versa. </p>

<p>However, I just feel as if NYU is NYU. It's a national brand. It's a top economics program. The connections are endless.</p>

<p>Now Nova has a phenomenal brand as well, but more regionally. </p>

<p>Also, NYU is twice as expensive as Nova. </p>

<p>Considering I don't know exactly what job I want out of school, it makes more sense to simply go to the school with more flexibility come graduation. </p>

<p>Ultimately, my head tells me NYU, but heart tells me nova. </p>

<p>Also, I am transfer student, so I only have 3 years at either school. </p>

<p>Basically, should I suck up the idea that I don't love the NYU campus, and the financial aid? Is nyu worth the slight inconvenience? </p>

<p>Getting a job with just an undergraduate economics degree is not easy, you will need to go on and get a Masters. Since you love Villanova and they are giving you so much money…I would be counseling my child to go to Villanova. Good Luck to you.</p>

<p>I would recommend Nova. Follow your heart. </p>

<p>If you cannot afford NYU then you cannot go.</p>

<p>If you can afford NYU, go to Nova because it’s cheaper and will serve you just as well as NYU. It’s only undergrade, Dude. </p>

<p>This is not a dilemma. Breathe.</p>

<p>If you do well in either one of these schools, you will get into a great Graduate School. So, go with your hart. My choice will be Nova, if I were you.</p>

<p>I’d go to Nova – you’ll get the college experience you want at half the price. </p>
