[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just checked the us news rankings for first time in 20 years. NYU is 30th. That may be my cut off for worth it for loans.

Your kid should probably just go to UVA.[/quote]

UVA is ranked higher, if you care about this sort of thing.[/quote]

I am not as familiar with majors and rankings nowadays. I was one of the NY posters and never heard of UVA before moving to DC. I did know a girl at Yale who went to UVA undergrad but I didn’t know UVA from Penn State or Rutgers.

Once upon a time, NYU was at the top for finance and law.

I also dont hear about Columbia or Cornell around here. I am sure it is geographic.[/quote]

Honestly? It boggles my mind that anyone would choose NYU (much less over over the University of Virginia, or for that matter the University of Maryland).  Big classes, very high tuition, expensive housing, all about the rankings, lack of focus on undergraduate teaching.  If you’re going to a larger research university as an undergrad,  then pay in-state tuition and be done with it. [/quote]

Pp here. My kids are still young. I will support my kids where they want to go. It doesn’t really matter if tuition is 100k of 20k per year for us.[/quote]
