I was born and raised in the capital city of China, moved to NYC after middle school. I love the city life because I can never get bored. I am going to college this fall and it is so hard to choose the right college. I narrow down my options to these three schools: UW, UCD, and PSU(main campus). My major is Economics BA for all three schools.
Seattle is a great city and UW is sooo beautiful. But I really can’t stand rainy/cloudy weather. It makes me feel depressed and just want to stay at home doing nothing.
I like the weather in UCD but I always felt Nor-Cal is for people who majored in CS or engineering. I am afraid i can’t get a good job after graduate.
For PSU, it locates in a college town so I feel there is no good place to walk around.
I also got in Fordham, but the tuition seems to be a problem.
I really need advise from you guys thanks so much!!
UCD is in a small town. The larger city of Sacramento is a freeway drive away.
PSU economics is the least math-oriented, since the normal intermediate economics courses do not use calculus like those at the other two schools. PSU does have “honors” versions that use calculus (and the class sizes are much smaller). If you want to go on to PhD study in economics, you want the most math-oriented courses, plus take additional advanced math and statistics courses.
What are the costs of those schools and any others you were admitted to? Amount of loans needed?
UW: $33,513 out state
UCD: $36,774 out state
PSU: $30,452 out state
Fordham: $43,577
I don’t plan to go on PhD study. So the math-oriented courses is not a problem.
My parents are going to pay for most of my tuition and they expect me to get a scholarship in sophomore year. Fordham’s tuition is like ten grand higher, plus New York living costs more.
Yeah i know but i just heard so much people saying November to April Seattle rarely gets a sunny day. And that worries me because i need the sun it gives me energy
