Hey guys, so pretty much my deadline for deposits are coming up pretty soon and I was really fortunate to get into all these schools, but a good problem is a problem nonetheless.

I have to choose between NYU, Tufts, Buffalo, and ASDOH.
I would really appreciate any constructive advice or info, such as which has the better student environment (happiness), clinical experience, reputation, etc.

Here some the main pros and cons I deduced :

NYU( Manhattan-where I live now)-
Pro-Best city in the world-hands down, lots of fun, and good energy
Con- has an "eh" reputation (or so i've been told) and living cost is so damn expensive!

Tufts-
Pro- Good city, Better reputation (than BU and NYU, or so I'm told)
Con- Students seemed really tense and competative. Didn't seem too happy.

Buffalo-
Pro- Good clincal experience, CHEAP 🙂
Con- city is so damn cold. I imagine I'd get depressed there, no?

Arizona-(leaning towards the most)
Pro- Innovative curriculm, students seemed happy
Con- Kinda far off for me, relatively unknown(?)


Sorry for making this so dragged out but I'm just so STUCK! Any thoughts would be awesome! Help a sister out!

Thanks guys!🙂🙂

If you already live in manhattan would you not be saving living costs or at least know the living expense if you went to NYU (since you are already living in NYC?)

Depending on how much the cost difference is for you I would choose Buffalo. But if the cost difference for buffalo and the others are less than 10-15k a year I would probably choose NYU or tufts. Sure buffalo is boring and cold but it will be only 4 years and at least you can stay home all day studying.
 
Very true, but living in NYC doesn't really help (only the city savyness I guess). I'll have to sign a new lease with new fees, deposits etc. Plus, I won't be working so I know I'm gonna have to loan all the money to pay living expenses (and its alot), so that freaks me out.

Buffalo is def. cheaper than the rest... But I'm scared to make my desision based soley on cost you know? But your right I should definetly considerate alot more than I was before.

Good input, thanks!
