Question: Could you tell me which college is better, academically?

Central Connecticut State East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania Programs do not matter since I only plan on attending one year then transferring, but I want to attend the better of the two. I would(well my parents would really like) like to go to East S. because I live in PA and it would be much cheaper(about half the cost). I'm pretty sure I can get accepted into either..so which one would be better? Also, is East S. just a college town?

Best Answer

They're both of a similar caliber though it appears that Central Connecticut State uni is slightly more selective admission wise...but not enough to warrant going there if you're saving money. If its closer and you save money id choose ES especially if you plan on transferring in a yr.
