The difference in COA between Binghamton and Baruch is ~ $16,000. If we only look at the cost of R & M, you are looking at borrowing about $12K - 14K per year. Is this what you expect to borrow for the next 2.5 years (minimum)? I thought Baruch College has a very good science department? You are a biology major; What are your career goals, assuming you get your undergraduate degree in Biology?
