ab2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I was accepted for an MA in International Education at both TC Columbia and NYU Steinhardt and need some advice in choosing a school. Here are some pros about each: 1. NYU is in a great location with an easier commute. I found it to be friendlier and more progressive. It's one of the best schools for global study which I find as a plus as that is my major. However, it is more expensive. 2. Although I heard mixed reviews about TC, it is less expensive and Ivy League. Although it is not as difficult to get into as Columbia, the Ivy League on a resume may be really useful in terms of career opportunities and may give me a leg up. However, they don't offer practically any study abroad opportunities which is crazy to me considering the nature of the program. When I visited both schools, I was more drawn to NYU. However, I wasn't able to visit my specific program at TC Columbia and I wonder if I would think differently about it if I had during my campus visit. Help?! Thanks!

sassypenguin Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Can you provide more context? How much more expensive is the first school? (There's a difference between something being $10,000 more expensive and something being $50,000 more expensive.) Does this first school allow for travel? Also, what sort of mixed reviews have you heard about TC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
