I got into both TCNJ and Syracuse. TCNJ didn't give me much in scholarship. Syracuse was very generous in financial aid. So it would actually cost me the same amount to go to both.
I plan to double major in international studies and economics. Which schools do you think is better?
Ask yourself this.. Would I prefer a large class setting or a smaller personal setting? Does having a school that is really into its athletics mean anything to me?
The BIG One: Would very cold weather most of the school year bother me? I've talked to numerous 'cuse students and they all say the same thing "The weather sucks most of the year" Think about it, walking to class means being outside A LOT and the weather up there is cold most of the year with good amounts of snow depending on the year. It's all a matter of preference. Let us know what you decide :-)
so hard of a decision.
Money is an issue because we can't afford much.
TCNJ gave me 5,000 in federal grants. Nothing else.
Syracuse gave me such a generous amount that their price tag of 47,000 is cut down to 12,000 per year.
Big decisions like this shouldn't depend on money but......
No, I don't mind cold weather and athletics means absolutely nothing to me. Will have to decide... I'll post my decision when I make it.
