Hi all, I know deposit deadline is really close but I still haven’t set up my mind.
I have visited both schools and loved them. While UVA has a gorgeous college campus, I don’t mind being in the city center. I am an international student, money is no object. Don’t care much about sports. I prefer diverse and intellectual student body.
Here are some of my thoughts…
UVA
- economics major, hopefully getting in Mcintire in third year
- though money isn’t a deciding factor, uva is more economical
- big party school and greek life, I’m not so much a party person
NYU
- accepted into Global Liberal Studies Core program (actually my biggest concern is the program at NYU, totally unexpected…since my first choice was CAS, I feel like I was put into GLS because I was less qualified)
- heard there are many rich kids at NYU, not sure if I can fit in
- I do love the diversity at nyu, plus I love nyc so so much
Somethings I need to consider What is the academic rigor at both institute? How are they viewed by employers? Any grade inflation/deflation? How accessible are the professors (i’m thinking about grad school so need their rec)? Is anyone familiar with NYU liberal studies in particular?
Any input would be helpful. Thanks a lot!
