An associate's degree, or *Associate of Science (A.S.) in Business Administration*, is available at both LaGuardia Community College (LAGCC) and Suffolk County Community College (SCCC). Nevertheless, all these factors depend upon personal choices, and for example, it could come down to one of two choices because the choice is so close, driven by factors like *convenience, opportunity, networking*, and flexibility towards academics. Why LaGuardia will be the ideal choice. # 1. *Location & Networking (NYC Advantage)*- *LAGCC* is based in *Queens, NY.* This therefore exposes the college student to the fast-paced business world of NYC.- Major corporate hubs, financial institutions, and startups provide internship and networking opportunities.- SCCC is based in *Long Island*, with less direct business ties than in NYC.# *2. Transfer & Career Opportunities- LaGuardia has excellent transfer relationships with high tier colleges such as *Baruch, NYU, and CUNY schools* to smoothly complete a *bachelor's degree*.- *SCCC* provides transfer opportunities, though it is more Long Island university affiliated, such as *Stony Brook and Adelphi*.# 3. Diverse Student Body & Exposure- LaGuardia is very well known to host a very diverse and international student population that would be able to afford a very *business-world perspective*.- NYC's multicultural environment exposure makes them develop *cross-cultural business skills*.# 4. Business-Focused Programs & SupportLaGuardia offers career services, business incubators, and partnerships with NYC companies.- Severe emphasis on entrepreneurship and innovation.# 5. Internship & Job Placement OpportunitiesIt is located in *NYC;* LaGuardia has more corporate partnerships* with firms such as Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and NYC-based startups.SCCC also offers internships but *has fewer direct connections to NYC-based businesses.*Why Suffolk, then? - *Lower cost of living*: Long Island is cheaper compared to NYC- *Class sizes are smaller* for a *more personalized learning experience.*- *Less frenetic environment* as compared to the frantic pace of life in NYC.#Better exposure to business and networking, besides career opportunities, make LaGuardia Community College the better option. If a quieter campus along with a reduced cost of living is your desire, then you might want to consider Suffolk County Community College more.
