How can I convince my dad that a cheaper college is better?

Question

Okay I wan tto transfer from Johnson and Wales (Almost 20000 tuition) to NC STATE (3500 tuition and 7000 R&B)

NCS is a better school, Infact its the best school in my state that offers my major, and its ranked on the top schools in the nation list.

but he just can't get it through his head that a cheaper school can be better then a more expensive school

Im an Accounting Major, Hoping to one day get my masters

At my current school everyone thinks I'm a cheif, I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE

Answer 1

get him some literature. especially some that have alot to say about your major.

Answer 2

You haven't stated what your major is. Have you met with anyone at NC State in your major department? They would be the people that would be most familiar with both schools and could tell you the selling points about NC State. If you are planning on graduate school, it would be interesting to compare placement rates. Also, compare placement rates for employers. Which employers regularly come on campus to interview students for placement in jobs?

A college education is a big investment in money and time. It will affect the course of your life. Make sure that you graduate from an institution that you will be proud of, since you will carry that for the rest of your life.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

Show him the facts about the school and the program. Give him some stats about the ratio of students to teacher and whatever kind of information you can compare to NCS's program as opposed to the other schools program. It's true, sometimes just because the price is higher doesn't mean it's a better school. Especially if you're going for a program that they're not big into. You could even try to contact a teacher or counselor from NCS to talk to your father or give you some extra info that might be more convincing. Good luck.

Answer 4

Tell him that the difference in price is because one is a state sponsored school, where your hard earned tax dollars are used to run it. The other is a private school that does not benefit from your hard earned tax dollars, and so they charge an incredible price for education.

Tell him that for your major, you would be getting a 50% reduction for better education. Provide him with the data.

Aren't you 18, though? Why do you have to convince him?

Answer 5

Call the college guys and tell them to call your dad on a college fair or just compare the marks of the topping students of both schools

Answer 6

One advantage to Junior College is you can get the classes that are really hard for you out of the way, they usually offer easier versions of the basic classes. I had fits with English and the Junior College has a film English class that was a breeze. It satisfied the requirement at the University for me.

Answer 7

Make a good argument. Get the facts and figure and figures to back up your statements and emphasize that it's better all around decision being both cheaper and more reputable.

Answer 8

gather all the info. on your college of choice and do a comparison with his college then get the history of the two colleges as far as achievements from graduates they will have the statics at each college and just compare

Answer 9

Might be your opinion, but to be honst almost in every country the more expencive school the better education.
