<p>im having a really terrible time deciding where to go to college. ive been accepted to bc, villanova, and lehigh and have no idea what to do. all the schools are appealing to me, ive made multiple visits, and i can "see" myself at all of them. all of them provided my family with the same (lack of) financial aid so that cant even help me. ive tried making those pro/con lists like my friends suggested but it comes out even in the end.
oh, and everyone has a different opinion on where i should go: my parents, brothers, friends, teachers..</p>
<p>any outside opinions/experiances at the schools would be appreciated. im a female from nj majoring in business, btw.
thank you!!</p>
<p>If you care about rankings/reputation I'd cross Villanova off the list as that's a notch below the other two.
Personally I'd go with Lehigh but I couldn't give you a reason why that over BC other than my personal feelings when I visited etc.</p>
<p>wow thats ironic, those are my top 3 schools to apply to next year because they have such good business programs. they're all so close in the top undergrad business "rankings" that they all seem to be on par with each other business wise (Villanova-12, BC-14, Lehigh-20). i myself visited BC and fell in love with it, and am planning on visiting the other 2 in 2 weeks.</p>
<p>The new president at Villanova is an awesome guy. There's a very strong family feeling at 'Nova and the alumni really love the place. I've been married to an alum for 23 years -- he graduated in the 70s -- and he has very strong opinions that it's a great school. </p>
<p>I don't hear the same sorts of things from BC and Lehigh alumni. FWIW.</p>
<p>I applied to both BC and Lehigh. BC happens to be higher on my list over Lehigh due to the fact I like being close to a big city. And BC sports > Lehigh sports. They are all ranked relatively close in terms of business ranking, so in my opinion, it doesn't matter which is "better". I would choose based on fit at this level...</p>
