<p>Looking to go for Business major but open to anything else .. I believe I already acquired the business trade, if need be, I will take a few more courses where I need improvement.</p>
<p>Please recommend a good school with good reputation, whether public or private as long as costs do not exceed 30k</p>
<p>Well then you should try and apply to Fordham, or Pace University they are expensive so I guess what you should try to do is try Rutgers, University of Massachusetts at Amherst is a good school that might meet your financial aspect. For business a good school is Indiana University at Bloomington but I know that you are not trying to go west but it is still a AMAZING school for business. University of New Hampshire is a good school supposedly, as well as Rhode Island. But my best pick is most probaby Fordham University. You wont have to pay room and board so it should be around 30k give or take. Let me know what else you need and I can see if I may be of some assistance. Thanks.</p>
<p>Well any large univiersity is good for you, but Fordham is probably one of your best bets and Indiana is even higher if you can get into their business school because they are like top 15 in business nationwide. Umass I am not sure of, but you should be good at Pace as well, but Pace is not as well known and reputable as the other three I had mentioned. CUNY Baruch is really good as well I knew some people who went there and have good success. BEST bets are Fordham and Indiana and PACE, and CUNY. Staying in state is better. If you don’t get into Fordham then you should just go to CUNY - Baruch its saving you money too.</p>
