<p>How do I decide which business program to attend? I am a NY resident and my choices are </p>
<p>Binghamton University, SUNY
University of Massachusetts - Amherst ~ $8,000 merit scholarship
University of Delaware ~ $10,500 merit scholarship
University at Buffalo, SUNY ~ $5,000 merit scholarship</p>
<p>What guiding factor should I use when choosing an undergraduate business program with a focus on finance?</p>
<p>You’re probably going to have the most opportunity out of Binghamton.</p>
<p>The 5k difference between Buffalo and Binghamton is a no brainer. I would rank UMass>Delaware in finance. So your discussion really comes down to Binghamton vs UMass, i’d go Binghamton since UMass will still be more expensive with the 8K scholarship. </p>
<p>In that case, its largely dependent on where you want to work. UMass has good rep in Mass and Boston (especially accounting) and Binghamton has weight in NY.</p>
