Where should I go to college (NYU or UCSB)?

I also live in CA.  Santa Barbara is a beautiful college. I'm thinking of transfering there myself. No one can really answer this question for you, but here are some things to consider:\nDo you want to stay close to home?\nDo you like the busy life of New York?\nAre you a big partier? (I'm not saying there's no parties in New York, but let's face it, UCSB is the place to be for a good party)\nWhat is your field of interest?\n***Make sure you compare both colleges to see which one's right for you.

The previous answerers are just plain wrong.\n\nUS News and World Report (as well as any college professor) will tell you that Columbia is ranked academically much more highly than NYU.\n\nFor example, Columbia is ranked #9 and NYU is ranked #37 in US News' ranking of best universities in the US (see the link below).\n\nIf you are interested in liberal arts colleges, Barnard is by far the best in NYC.\nUS News and World Report (and again, any college professor) knows this.\nBarnard is ranked #27 among all liberal arts colleges nationwide.

Check to see if any professors who will be writing you a letter of recommendation have a suggestion as to what school is best for what you want to do.  (I have a friend who is in urban planning but is concerned also about human relations in urban settings and thus was recommended to NYU)\nTry the best you can to figure out what you want to do with your degree, many Universities have slightly different focuses in regards to the field of study so it is important to know whether you will be working in the public or private sector, small town or large, etc.

Hi,\n\nI have an MBA from Stern.  Your MBA is really what you make of it.  I would personally lean towards Fordham.  My feeling is that its a few notches above Baruch (not that Baruch is bad).  \n\nWork prospects, it really depends.  Getting into an investment banking or asset management type position right off the bat will be tough, because the banks are all packed with ivy league and other top MBA grads.  Each school has its own "recruiting team" within the banks.  So, for example, the Stern grads will go to Stern to recruit current students.  That said, I would have to think Fordham probably has a good Career Services office as well as a good alumni office.  Before you settle on a school, I would go to visit them and really find out and ask questions about their career services and alumni connections.  Basically, if you can network with some alumni that are in the right places and convince one to take a chance on you, there's a good chance you can get into a bank for a summer internship, which will really be your gateway into a full time position.\n\nOk, sorry if my answer has a little of everything.  If you want, email me and I can give you more info.\n\nGood luck.

Hola! Your college GPA is good. You could probably get into GW, but NYU may be a stretch. The fact you did really well in high school will help. The quality of your current institution will also be taken into consideration. A 3.48 from UVA is stronger than the same from, lets say Virginia Tech.\n\nYou should apply to both schools as well as a safety. Have nyu be your reach, GW be your most likely, and then a safety school.\n\nYou may also want to consider Georgetown, but NYU will be harder to get into. Good luck!!!

Probably universities in California like UCLA and New York like NYU since those two states are the most cultural diverse.

Fantastic.  I have a close friend who went there, then continued at NYU grad school for a PhD in Economics, and is now an Economist at the IMF (International Monetary Fund) in Washington DC.  The CAS is a great school.  The dean of students is fantastic.  My son is there majoring in English.  A million fascinating things happen at NYU and it is getting harder and harder to get in and it keeps going up in national rankings.  A huge part of the NYU undergrad experience has to do with living in the absolute coolest spot on Earth.  The housing department leaves much to be desired though....  But the kids don't seem to mind.

Depends on what you want to major in. Stanford, USC, UC Berkley (Cal), and UCLA all have great business programs. The Cal Poly system has great schools if you are looking for the sciences. Most schools in the UC system have good medical programs. Try the link below to get more information on the type of college you are looking for.

No one gets into NYU easily, for the most part.  You need to have the grades first and foremost.  Visit their site, get their admission info.  Speak with your guidance counselor at school.

Berkeley because the college scene there is unlike any other...where else are you going to have a naked guy?  Everyone there is very chill and open to new things, unlike UCLA which is a bit more uptight and USC which is just a bunch of rich kids.  Also you'll be close to San Fransisco which is one the greatest cities in CA.  Good luck where ever you choose!

Go to a College or University.

Any Ivy League School will be great. Undergrad at SMU or Yale and Grad at Harvard, Yale, or Columbia will give you the best in what you want.

In CA, the best would be USC or UCLA.\n\nHowever, there are a lot of other good schools not in California if you would be interested, including Columbia University, NYU, Ithaca College, and Weseleyan University.  Hope these names are something different than what you've been hearing. Vote me for best answer! :)

Because of the way that you sound, you don't seem to be completely academics, and it sounds like you would want to go to college and that you should have extracurriculars if you want to go to college, so i'd go to Panther Creek.  Sometimes when your gut tells you something, it's just hungry.  if some1 else gives you a better answer gl at your new school.
