Which School Do I Choose?
After months of waiting, stressing and obsessively checking the status of my application, the verdict is in…I GOT ACCEPTED INTO NYU! Now, if you remember about a month ago I told y’all that I got accepted into Washington University at St. Louis. So now comes the hard part — choosing a school. On the surface it’s like, “Fool, it’s NYU! What’s there to think about?!” I know right! I keep asking myself the same question. But there’s a lot of factors that come into play. The most pressing of them being $$$. So maybe you guys can help me decide.
WashU ($31k/yr):
Pros:
- GREAT financial aid package
- Top ranked Social Work program in the country
- Cheaper cost of living
- Super friendly staff
Cons:
- Location (St. Louis)
- Presents few opportunities for my other passions (fashion/styling)
- Less prestigious institution
- SNOW!
NYU ($32k/yr):
Pros:
- IT’S NYU! Seriously, I almost don’t need to put anything else in this category
- Location (NYC)
- Fashion capital
Cons:
- Higher cost of living
- Social Work department ranked #22±
- Offered less money
- SNOW!
Of course these aren’t all the things I have to take into consideration, but these are the most pressing issues I guess. Help me guys! I only have 3 weeks to decide!
