For full disclosure, my son went to Fordham and loved it. First, talk to your parents but it sound like the price differential should be a consideration and would be a big plus for BU. Other than price, there are definite differences between the schools and you need to figure out which is the best fit for you. Other than the city they are located in, there is a big difference in the size of the school, religious affiliation (Jesuit and non-sectarian), and I’d guess that Fordham has a much bigger core curriculum (which my S generally found OK, although he wished it was not quite as large). I wouldn’t put too much stock in your friend doing to Fordham - this is a time to make the choice that works best for you.
