I have received offers from NYU and NU, but I'm not sure how to choose:




1. I have two years of work experience as a dispute resolution lawyer. After the project ends, I plan to return to my home country to continue working as a lawyer.


2. I am interested in studying US practical experience, bankruptcy law, and corporate law.


3. The main considerations are: ranking, safety, campus environment, and alumni resources. Currently, I'm hesitating because NYU has better rankings and alumni resources than NU, but I prefer the environment at NU. By the way, I'd also like to know if there will be a significant difference in the total costs between the two.




I'd like to hear your opinions.

I’d take NYU. NU is decent, especially in Chicago, but NYU is better on pretty much every metric I’d think is important. If NU throws you a significant scholarship, that might sway things but otherwise NYU all the way.
