LZ拿到钱了吗？Hofstra给了我一些钱，我在考虑值不值得去。

LZ决定去吗？

It is on Long Island, so living expense will not be lower than that in the city.

It is finance program doesn't have a close relationship with professional organization. Have no idea about Accounting. Reasonably, big 4 would have campus recruiters.

Just check the curriculum, it might not, to my understanding, meet the CPA requirement for New York state.

我没拿到钱。     但别的学校的花费也够贵了，衡量了一下，Hofstra还好些。

我现在保留这个，拒掉别的好一点的学校了，主要是去hofstra比较方便。  呵呵，在住的问题上，不太同意楼上GG哦。长岛的房子租金可比city便宜多了，而且是越远离city的地方越便宜。。 关于课程的问题，楼上GG说的挺对的，关键它那个课修完了，好像基本就附和cpa了。。

我还在等一个公立学校的消息，如果它把我拒了，我就去Hofstra了。

I don't think the rent on long island is a lot cheaper than that in the city. Nassau County is closer to the city than Suffolk County, so the rent is still pretty high. And the sales tax is also a little bit higher than that in the city, if I recall correctly.

NY CPA requires 6 credits undergraduate business law or 4 credits graduate business law, however, its curriculum doesn't show any class in law. The credit requirement of auditing and taxation for sitting in the test at New York State is very vague. This school only offers 3 credits to auditing and 3 credits to taxation. Not sure whether it is enough.  You are surely able to sit the CPA test as a candidate from other state, but I doubt the requirment of busines law might be universal.

Anyway, what I said is only FYI. If you are currently living close to LI, you might have a clearer idea than I. I haven't lived there, and I have no knowledge about the housing rent market.

谢谢楼上GG的信息。好像学校都是cpa的课先修部分，拿学位之后，工作，然后再回去make up一些课程。？不知道说的对不对？  NY的有些学校说，学了它的课就可以免一年的经验，不知道是不是有这个事？  我在选择之前，还是去学校谈一下比较好。 ^_^  再次感谢

Different people have different understanding to this. Up to your own judgement.

It is true. But the experience requirement has nothing to do with sitting in the test.

Well, at least you can tell me whether the sales tax on LI is 8.5%.

stellacc

应该是8.6%了。
