CUNY used to be one of my choices, but since I have to get apartment in NYC, the cost would be higher. My best option would be SUNY.

BTW, what is your college QQ?

Grove City is a very good school. It (along with Hillsdale in Michigan) does not offer any federal financial aid, all aid is institution based. The school is non-denominational but is predominantly Christian.

Rutgers is def not 40k

jerzgrlmom · 11-16-2007, 10:38 PM

According to the RU website, Rutgers is currently $29,265-$31,209 (depending on major) for non-residents and $20,096-$22,040 for NJ residents. These are the posted costs but actual expenses are usually higher (lab fees, phy ed fees, health clinic fees, parking fees, etc). Also included in total cost are books and travel to/from school (which can be considerable if international) so $40,000 as an estimate may not be that far off. Tuition can rise close to 10% per yr.

thx again for all your reply!

I'm start thinking to find small liberal art college that has a lot of financial aid for international students...well, definitely the one that could fit my stats. I don't mind to change my major to economics, even though I could loose some of my credits..

Any idea?

schun · 11-18-2007, 04:42 PM

definitly some SUNY or Cal State. like CAL POLY or CAL long beach. i would also suggest flagler college. its a GREAT school with a VERY low tuition fee

I know some of you already mentioned CUNY. I'm kinda interested with Baruch College. Is it really a great school for business? Is it well known in NYC (esp. for the company if I want to look for internship/job)?

I know, that they don't have housing, which mean I need to rent apartment/room in Mahattan area. I founded in their website about their services to help students who are looking for apartment. And they also suggested to look in EHS (the student housing). From what I have seen in their website, the housing is beautiful with great facilities and reasonable rates. Is that true? Are there any Baruch's students who want to share their experience looking for apartment?

I saw the testimonial video about the EHS, and the students sound very happy with EHS's service.

And how about college life in Baruch? Since it doesn't have its own dorm, will it still be fun & many activities, or it will likely be the same like attending community college?

University of North Carolina has an excellent buisness program and im pretty sure its under 10k. its very competetitive oos though.

and personally i dont think it will be the same atmosphere because everyones living off campus. it depends what you like.

ClassicRockerDad · 12-06-2007, 09:06 PM

I looked at EHS's web site. The cheapest accommodations for a 9 month term 2008-2009 is $10,400 for a double in Brooklyn. That doesn't include food or subway fare to get into and out of Manhattan each day. You can probably get a much better deal using newyork.craigslist.org to find a roommate situation for 500-750/mo

Ops,

I just checked your scores :

In case you need to know my stats:
SAT I (CR 500, Math 670, WRTG 560)

For those of you recommending the excellent school Grove City College ( my daughter applies to it ), the scores the Ops has is a reach.

Your Math scores are very good ( within Grove City's range ), but the Critical reading portion is way off. Grove City's average Reading SAT score is 645 and their writing SAT scores are in the 700 range. Average GPA of students is about 3.75 ( nearly 15% of their class of 2011 are valedictorias or Salutatorians FYI ).

However, since you're an international student, they might give you some consideration. Only 2% of their students are international and I hear they're looking to expand that number ( without sacrificing student quality of course).

Grove City is an excellent school for academics, especially if you want a Liberal Arts education. Another idea might be slippery rock.

TheWatcher · 01-15-2008, 05:51 PM

Interrelations09,

I agree with you that Grove City meets the Ops' requirements of excellent academics at reasonable price. The only problem I see is with the Ops SAT scores ( no disrespect, please don't hate me ). Only the Math scores meet the colleges' SAT average. Critical Reading and Writing are way off. This college could be a reach. Grove City is very selective.

Better to consider cheaper but excellent State Colleges and/or universities.

Since the Ops is in CT, I'd recommend one of the SUNY or CUNY schools in the neighboring state of NY.

Baruch College at CUNY is one of the better public business schools. Excellent facilities, welcoming of international students, and the SAT entrance requirements are more ( how to put it ), "in line" with OPs stated scores.

TheWatcher · 01-15-2008, 05:57 PM

Ops,

Following up with Baruch College at CUNY, if your concern is expensive apartments, you might want to live a little further from New York city ( say Queens) and commute by train. Queens is cheaper and you can find apartments you can share with other students. Just as suggestion.

Don't give up on some of the out-of-state schools that have been mentioned. My daughter is attending Texas A&M and receiving in-state tuition rates although we live in another state. The University of Texas (she'd disown me if she knew I mentioned UT) and Texas A&M might be good choices.

Good luck!
