As I begin my College search...

<p>I have listed my top 5 schools that I would like to attend:</p>

<li>University of Colorado at Boulder</li>
<li>Rutgers University</li>
<li>Michigan State University</li>
<li>The Ohio State University</li>
<li>DePaul University</li>
</ol>

<p>I was just wondering if anyone has some information on any one of these schools, maybe even a few tips?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I hope you are a resident of Colorado, New Jersey, Michigan, or Ohio.</p>

<p>If so, go to the school in your state.</p>

<p>I concur. They are all pretty equivalent in academic strength (Rutgers and Mich State are on the top for that).</p>

<p>Visit them. If you don't have to worry about money, choose the one you like best. If you have to worry about FA, go in-state. It's cheaper.</p>

<p>Specific programs can make a difference, however. Are you interested in anything in particular?</p>

<p>Where are you from?</p>

<p>I'm from NJ and Rutgers is very close to my hometown which is why it's not my number one, it feels like it's just a little too close. </p>

<p>I have visited both Rutgers (obviously) and CU at Boulder (I stayed in the dorms for 3 weeks at CU).</p>

<p>I was hoping to go into Entrepreneurship or like Business and Marketing, something along the lines of that.</p>

<p>Babson = Number One for Entreprenuership... Every person there is a Business major.</p>

<p>My dad was telling me about Babson, I don't know the smallest bit about it, any information? Location and such?</p>

<p>College</a> Search - Babson College - At a Glance</p>

<p>It's 30-ish mins outside of Boston.</p>

<p>I wouldn't recommend Babson. It's not very well-rounded. If you change your mind about business or decide to pursue another passion in addition to business, you're left with no options. And you wouldn't get as much of a campus experience. </p>

<p>I'd do Rutgers for instate tuition, or Colorado (they have the most amazing campus, and the students there are incredibly happy...strong academics too).</p>

<p>Rutgers (in-state tuition and comparable academics, which are equal to or better than Colorado) > Colorado.</p>

<p>Haha..I never said Colorado was better. I just said that it would be my second choice after Rutgers, because of the amazing campus and atmosphere.</p>

<p>DePaul is located in a very neat area of Chicago--Lincoln Park. Lots to do there. I've known a few DePaul grads. They were happy with it. D was about ready to add it to her list until we noticed the school calendar. It's based on the quarter system. The last quarter ends in mid-June. Her father, myself, and D each concluded independently that the calendar would limit her opportunities for summer jobs and internships. I really was wishing that wasn't the case. </p>

<p>Ohio State--HUGE campus! We had friends attending law and MBA programs there years ago. On a visit he insisted on giving a walking tour of the campus. I thought it would never end! (it was summer and pretty hot/humid)</p>

<p>Colorado-Boulder is also on my D's list. We don't know much about it, except that it seemed to have a really good Spanish dept.</p>
