    Though Sacred Heart is a great school, it is very pricey for what you get. Make sure SHU is the right school for you and that you look for as many scholarships and grants as you can get.

    I have mixed feelings about this. I think that Sacred Heart is insanely expensive, and I cannot really decide if it's worth it. I love the people and the education I am receiving, but I wish the school would offer more money for the students who are middle class and struggling to afford to stay at the school

    On the expensive side but it is a private, catholic school. You can get personal attention from professors in the classes because the size, the business school has enormous opportunities for students including internships within some of the most wanted companies. The number of majors/minors to choose from the accessibility to the advisors is really key.
