<p>Hey I'm having trouble deciding between these two schools and any input would be appreciated. I looking to study international business. Here's just a quick rundown of what I'm thinking right now:</p>
<p>BC
Great sports teams I'd rather watch football than basketball.
Great social scene
I have a couple of friends going and about 5-6 other kids from my HS
Right on the outskirts of Boston
The main problem is, they don't have an international business major so I would have to major in something else and minor in international studies.</p>
<p>Villanova
Business school was ranked higher than BC
International business co-major
Social scene probably not as strong as BC
Really good basketball team</p>
<p>Academically and quality of campus, both schools are comparable. I am also getting pretty much the same amount of fin aid from each school. I saw nova's campus yesterday and I'm going up to Boston this weekend so maybe that will resolve some questions. Any imput from you guys would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.</p>
<p>Overall BC blows Villanova away academically. I would easily choose BC. Anyhow, you might change your major, most freshman do and BC would offer more all around options.</p>
<p>vociferous are you serious??? If anything they are about equal in terms of academics. I would choose Villanova over BC.</p>
<p>BC is definitely superior academically. Maybe not to justify huge debt given a cost difference, but assuming tuition is equal, BC wins for sure. My high school sends lots of kids each year to both schools, and the difference in intelligence/scores/quality of applications between the two is very significant.</p>
<p>Please tell me how BC is academically superior to Villanova. Not much difference in SAT scores either.</p>
<p>BC might have the edge for liberal arts, but Villanova has the upper hand in the sciences. Its engineering is quite strong while BC doesn’t even have an engineering school.</p>
<p>Since you are mainly focused on business and cost is equal, I cannot stress enough that you should make your decision based on FIT. Both are fairly even in the business world, so pick the environment that you will feel most comfortable in. The more comfortable you are the better you will do.</p>
