Whitman (Syracuse) vs Isenberg (Umass Amherst)

I got admitted to both and I have a hard time deciding between the two, based on education and recruitment, which is the better choice?

Have you checked the rankings? I believe Isenberg is ranked higher. What about cost? Have you considered cost?

My daughter is a current freshman at Umass Amherst in Isenberg. She considered applying to Syracuse and we toured the campus and sat in on an information session. It was a nice school ,not as “city” as we were afraid and were very impressed by the Whitman session. However, after she got accepted to UMass EA and admitted to both Isenberg and the CHC she decided not to even apply to Whitman. As she put it, “why should I bother when it will be more expensive, and is ranked lower than Isenberg.”

Of course we live in MA so that contributes to the lower cost plus she would be interested in MA and Boston based recruitment rather than NY state recruitment so that may make a difference to you.
