One of the main reasons I am leaning more towards Bank Street is because of the dual certification program. Although Hunter is definitely more affordable, I'm a bit concerned about getting a job afterwards with only a grade 1 -6 certifcation because I would like to stay in New York. Any childhood education students/graduates have any advice?

I was admitted into Bank Street's early childhood/childhood general education dual certification program (birth - grade 6) and Hunter College's childhood education program (grade 1 - 6) for the upcoming Fall. However, I'm having a bit of difficulty deciding between the two. I feel that Bank Street's learning is more individualized and has a great fieldwork program, but even with the financial aid I received, the cost is still about three times higher than Hunter's. I also feel that even though Bank Street has a great reputation, it is not that well known. Is Bank Street worth the extra cost? Or has anyone been a student at either of these schools (or know of someone that has) that can share their opinion on the matter? Any advice would be helpful, thanks!
