Journalist AJ Jordan ’15: Best Financial Decision Was Attending Purchase

In an article for Business Insider’s Personal Finance column, A.J. Jordan ’15 (journalism and economics) argues that transferring to Purchase after a year at an expensive private school was one of the best financial decisions she ever made.

She also debunks the theory that only high-priced colleges come with valuable networks.

“In my own experience, I have had no problems advancing my career through my own alumni network. In fact, this job I have right now is one that I was made aware of and recommended for by a fellow graduate of SUNY Purchase.”
