Down to final two...BU vs Pitt

[clevermintt]

So after lots of deliberation, I feel like it's come down to between BU and Pitt for my MPH.

BU is stupid expensive, but somewhere I've always wanted to go. Affording the overall living expenses and tuition will be hard my on family, but they'll make it work, as always. I love that it's a core program and how the certificates work, and I've heard nothing but good things about the campus, faculty, etc.

Pitt is great - I've visited the campus, so I know what to expect and it's honestly beautiful. And much cheaper to live and get to as well. But there's not as many hospital connections, and it worries me.

What sets each program apart? Is there a clear cut winner in the job field?
Please help!

Yup. If your family can afford it and are willing to help you through it, seems like you'd be much happier there.

Honestly the better connections, the more likely you'll be able get more opportunities so if you are willing to invest the money for the better resources...go for it!
