<p>I got accepted to all three schools.
I got a $15,000 scholarship to Pace.
I have always wanted to "go away for school." </p>
<p>They all have accredited by AACSB, have study abroad programs. </p>
<p>I'm just wondering if it is worth it to pay 20,000 for albany. i will be Struggling to pay for it.</p>
<p>I NEED ADVISE.</p>
<p>Avoid Pace.
Apply to St Johns</p>
<p>Baruch has a pretty strong accounting program and I think it would be wise to try to graduate with as little debt as possible. My advice? Go with CUNY.</p>
<p>Since money is an issue:</p>
<p>Pace is too expensive and not worth the money even though you have a scholarship.</p>
<p>Baruch is good for Business and cheap.</p>
<p>I can’t say much about Albany accept it’s a party school and it’s cold.</p>
<p>“FairyBag77”- I applied to St. John’s. It’s way to expensive. They only gave me a scholarship of $11000.</p>
<p>Okayy thank you</p>
<p>Baruch all the way because:</p>
<p>1) Big 4 recruit there heavily
2) Great reputation for accounting
3) Located in the heart of NYC
4) Cheap
5) Cheap</p>
<p>The only downside is that it’s a commuter school and can seem like you’re back in high school, but overall it’s a great school if you want to go into accounting.</p>
<p>Well if you are literally going to struggle in order to go to Albany, don’t go there. I feel Baruch is a good option because it is affordable and highly regarded.</p>
<p>At the very least, attend Baruch for two years, then transfer. You will save a lot of money and get a quality business education in the meantime.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the input! =)</p>
<p>But I wanted to clarify something. </p>
<p>My parent will be contributing 10k. I’ll take out the federal loan of 5500. Then ill be finding a summer job. Is this still considered “struggling”?</p>
<p>If it’s possible, do not to borrow any money!</p>
<p>If you have to take out $5500 a year in loans, that’s still a debt of $20,000+ when you graduate, all for an education that isn’t necessarily better than the education you’d receive at Baruch.</p>
<p>Another benefit of attending Baruch is that when you start looking for internships, it’s a lot easier to interview when you don’t have to take a day off to travel to the city. If you were so inclined, there would probably also be more opportunities to work p/t over the semester if you’re going to school in Manhattan. In an ideal world, you might even be able to graduate with some savings instead of debt.</p>
<p>How is it even possible to attend schools like Baruch if you dont live in NYC?</p>
<p>^^not sure I understand the question?</p>
<p>@MasterStudent - of course you can attend. There are such thing as ‘out-of-state applicants’.</p>
<p>Baruch definitely for accounting. you’ll thank me later.</p>
