NYU Shanghai: is it actually that bad?

I got rejected from NYU stern, and had NYU Shanghai listed as an alternative choice. I got accepted there, and even though I don't really want to get shipped off to china for 4 years, it got me thinking about if NYUSH was actually worth it for finance.

I was reading about their program, and one of the requirements that they have is that every student must study abroad for 1-2 semesters. This means that I choose to study at Stern during the fall of my senior year, just in time for OCR.

On top of that, the degree i would get would be granted by NYU, without any distinction between a regular NYU degree and one from NYUSH.

Do yall think NYUSH is worth it, or should I be normal and go to a school in the US?
also if yall have any other info about nyush that is important to know, go ahead
