They are both expensive school when it comes to tuition. I think they are about same.
Living expensive will be significantly higher in NYU.
If you can afford, single, like to have fun I'd go NYU.
If you wanna be stuck in quiet town and focus on your study I'd go to MWU.
I have visited downers grove and lol I was surprised how there were nothing to do.
If I had a choice, I would love to go NYU. But even If I do have a choice, I can't afford to live there anyway.
