Fordham or NEU? 2017 Undergraduate Economics Major
HI Guys, I am accepted by both Fordham College in Lincoln Center(Economics Major) and Northeastern University College of Social Science and Humanities(Economics Major).
Northeastern University is more highly ranked (39 in US NEWS) and has the unique Co-op program to help me start my internships (It's usually guaranteed that a student will get a job offer when it comes to Co-op if the student follows the instruction). Its location in Boston is very good for academic study. However, I don't know whether its reputation, academic quality, and ranking are strong and stable since it just increased its ranking in the recent years.
Fordham has the best location (NYC) for students like me who wants to pursue Finance in the future while its alumni network could make its students easier in finding internships in New York, however, its campus (Lincoln Center) is a bit small for experiencing college life and the ranking (60 in US NEWS) doesn't sound competitive as NEU's 39. (Some say that Fordham's undergraduate courses aren't as good as NEU since it's famous for its MBA courses related to Finance)
I got accepted with the major of Economics in both university (May change to something related to business or finance during my 4-year-study or graduate school). It's hard to find some suggestions online since most of them are related to the graduate schools.
I want to pursue a higher degree after my graduation of my 4-year-undergraduate(unlimited locations but NYU if possible) and I want to develop my career in NYC. I don't know whether a university's reputation, ranking, and location will affect my application to the higher degree. I know Fordham is really good for starting my career in NYC, but I think NEU's ranking/reputation or the co-op program could also help me pursue my goal in NYC.
I believe that both NEU and Fordham have their own advantages in helping me to pursue my goal, but I really don't know which one should I choose. So could you guys give me some advice or your opinion on choosing these two universities?
There's a few Fordham people on this site though so hopefully they have info. goodluck!
