Villanova vs. Seton Hall Scholarship
Posted: Tue Mar 22, 2011 2:52 pm
I just received this offer from NOVA yesterday. I have basically written of FTuition offers to STJ and Hofstra, and had more or less settled on SH while waiting on my Brooklyn negotiation. I admit I was a bit surprised at NOVA's generosity and I am giving it serious consideration. Does anyone know if NOVA tends to place as well in Philly as SHU places in NJ? Does NOVA place well at all in NJ? I have visited SH and was pretty impressed, and although they certainly mst be taken with a grain of salt, the new USN rankings were encouraging. NOVA dropped quite a bit and also had the reporting scandal; still, they have a new academic building and I have heard/read nothing but positives. I have not yet visited NOVA, so I'm uncertain.
Does anyone have any thoughts/opinions?
Seton Hall: $35,000 renewable if upper 50%; $45,048 tuition.
Villanova: $30,000 renewable if I maintain a cum. 3.15 at end of each year; tuition $36,690
Other info: I currently live/work in DC but I am from NJ. At SH I will have the option of living at home and commuting. I also assume the COL in Jersey is cheaper, though I am not positive. I also cannot determine if the 50%/3.15gpa stips are comparable.
