I know a friend’s child who transferred out; says the education was “meh” and certainly not worth the cost. Apparently, MANY of the classes there were taught by adjuncts/grad students without terminal degrees. Apparently, their science facilities and programs are lacking as well.
I would think carefully about whether it is worth paying high tuition + NYC cost of living for a non-elite undergrad degree, especially if you have a strong in-state option available.
