Northeastern vs. Baruch Honors!

I want to go into business, probably finance or international business.

For Baruch, I would get full tuition for four years and it’s a pretty respected business school, right behind NYU and Columbia. Since I live in NYC, I would commute from home everyday. I like my family and don’t really mind living with them, and I’ve commuted to high school from Queens to Manhattan for the past four years so I’m already used to it, even though it would be fun to get the full college experience in Boston.

For Northeastern, the only financial aid I got was $3,400 in grants and $2,750 in loans, so I’d have to pay around 45K a year, not factoring in any money I would earn from co-ops.

I think as an overall school, Northeastern seems to have more prestige than Baruch, and I’d be able to dorm and have the traditional college experience, and I’d benefit from the co-ops, but I don’t know if that’s worth justifying a 45K difference.

If I plan to work in the field of business in NYC after college, which school would lead to better job opportunities?

thanks =)
