<p>NYU cost: $48,000
UCSD cost: $40,000 (out of state)</p>

<p>**NYU Pros: **

  • Great internship opportunities for a communication major (CNN, MTV, etc)
  • Great business school (I plan to some basic courses in Stern)
  • Very urbanized and culturally diverse
  • Decent social life in the city
  • Only 6 hours driving distance from home</p>

<p>Cons:

  • East Coast weather
  • High level of stress of living in NY</p>

<p>UCSD Pros:

  • I’m in love with the so cal atmosphere!
  • Fantastic weather
  • Nicer/more relaxed people
  • Secluded enough for me to concentrate on my studies
  • Close enough to LA/Mexico to have fun</p>

<p>UCSD Cons:

  • Not strong of a communication school as NYU?
  • Not as academically prestigious of a school as NYU?
  • Not known for business
  • Not many opportunities for internships</p>

<p>Please give me suggestions and feel free to disagree with me! :slight_smile:
Financial differences is not too big of an issue… </p>

<p>Please do tell me more about UCSD</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>I believe you answered your own question already - NYU easily.</p>

<p>Considering you’re paying OOS tuition to go to UCSD, and NYU is more prestigious regarding journalism/arts/social studies, what is $8,000 going to matter?</p>

<p>Plus, NYU social life/college experience will be more rewarding and fun - you’re in New York City for crying out loud. :)</p>
