That’s a tough one!
Is there anything specific you don’t like about BU? Have you visited both?
I think you should try to appeal your FA at Fordham. Maybe the fact that BU offered you that much could help your case, but I’m not sure. In case Fordham doesn’t make it more affordable for you then I think you should seriously consider BU. If they don’t, and you/your parents can afford most of it and you only need to take small loans, then Fordham wouldn’t be unreasonable. It would open more doors for you in NYC and make it easier for you to live there after graduation. However, if you have to take that much (approximately 27k/year) in loans then I wouldn’t advise it since you have a much more affordable and great option.
@juillet‌ There is the Lincoln Center campus, which is two blocks away from Central Park and a few more from Columbus Circle. It’s either in the Upper West Side or Midtown West, I’m not sure. But that gives students really easy access to everything in Manhattan, it’s literally in the middle of things. But obviously if OP applied to RH then what you said is true.

Good luck!
