I'm in the 1st school for a 2 year transfer program but I'm not sure if I should finish my degree there or if I should transfer to a different school. I want to work in internation affairs and relations.
1st school:
-Is a college
-Is cheaper
-Is Easier,maybe higher grade
-Has a club that I can join in second year that holds model un in different countries and if I stay I can remain in the club till I graduate
-I'll learn more about my major
-Has only recently started granting degrees
2nd School:
-is a university
-is harder(bell curve)maybe lower grade
-is more expensive
-Is more worldy renowned..has more status I guess
-I can get a certificate of Peace and international conflict resolution by taking a few specific option courses
-more recreational options(cheap dance and karate student clubs)
-can take more option courses, becuase my major doesn't require as many credits as the college.
-can just join my cities un branch

When students ask me which college to choose, I always tell them to choose the absolute best school to which they can get admission.
In this case, the university is without question the better option.
For me, the big scary red flag is that the college (#1) has just started granting degrees. That means it has not yet earned a national scholarly reputation, and that means that you'll have a more difficult time in terms of graduate school admissions.

It depends on what you want to do in life...if your career aspirations only require college then just do that...but if university woulld help you out later on then I think that is the better choice. If you can afford it, why not do both - like finish the college then switch into uni...personally, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do in the future so I came to a well known university to pursue an education in the liberal arts and figure stuff out and I don't regret it one bit!
