If all you want is a slight edge in the job market and plan to work in NYC, then NYU is a better choice. BUT, if you want a great business education AND a really great 4 years of college with all that it covers, you would be happier at VU. Having a post-grad degree from NYU, I can tell you it is huge, impersonal, no school spirit, no campus (the city is the campus), no sports to root for (a few D-III sports…best known is fencing) and expensive as heck to live, but a great academic reputation with kids from all over the world.
Nova nation is a culture, a passion of school pride, fine academics, a nice campus in a really nice suburb of philly, a tight community of mostly conservative, like-minded kids, some of whom will be friends for life. My daughter almost picked VU and didn’t like NYU. If it were me, I’d pick VU and make memories that will last a lifetime.
