<p>Ok guys, I have realized that the place I really want to live and attend school is Boston!!! As many of you already know I will be applying as a transfer student for next fall. So far my list includes Boston U and Northeastern, but from what I have been reading on the boards, it seems that these schools may be out of reach for me. Are there any other schools in Boston with decent business programs? Anyone know about Suffolk? I just want to apply to enough schools so I have as great a chance as living in Boston as possible. Please suggest more decent business schools in Boston. Thanks a lot.</p>
<p>Bentley is in MA, and has great business, as well as Babson. :)</p>
<p>Also, are you willing to be near, but not in Boston? Babson would be good if this is the case.</p>
<p>well yeah that's the thing, I would rather be right in the city.</p>
<p>Good choice of location....the best college area in America!</p>
<p>If Northeastern is out of your reach, the next level of schools would be:</p>
<p>Bentley College - Fine business school in suburb of Boston, if you cannot transfer into the big 5 BA programs (Harvard, MIT, BC, Babson, Northeastern) then Bentley is the best place for you to go if you don't mind not being in the city, but still being in Boston Metro.</p>
<p>Suffolk Univeristy - 7th best BA program in Boston, but still solid, I just don't know how you feel about going to a school with no campus or real college community.</p>
<p>Simmons College - Business program is actually rather good but always overlooke when you have Harvard, MIT, BC, Babson, and Northeastern's business programs all in the same city. But really, if you are a girl, then I would consider Simmons College. It's in the Back Bay, over by Northeastern, pretty area of the city.</p>
<p>Emmanuel College - This school is rather small in scale, situated right next to Simmons College (Over by Fenway and Museum of Fine Arts). It's a Catholic LAC, and really, its only recognized program is business, nearly 1/2 the students major in the Management & Economics program.</p>
<p>UMASS Boston does have a BA program, however, they have no campus housing and it's not really in the a place where you'll find much housing, so you would be a commuter most likely.</p>
<p>Curry College - this would be your safety, last bet, not sure if you want to make the move all the way to Boston just for Curry College.</p>
<p>Bentley is actually as hard if not harder to get into then Northeastern primarily because of their strength in accounting and finance. They are top 20 in accounting and 13 for computer information systems. I would consider their admissions as selective as the other 5 schools. I was planning on transferring there at one point as well. </p>
<p>I think you can definetely get into either BU, Babson or Bentley if not all 3. Just work hard and do well! Good luck!</p>
<p>Cre8tive -- Since when does Harvard offer any type of undergraduate business programs? Or am I missing something here?</p>
<p>Also, one of those schools is clearly not even close to the others. (Hint: it starts with an N). Seems kind of random in its inclusion. Good school but not in the same league as the others you've mentioned.</p>
<p>Oh, I was just speaking about Harvard Business School in general, but yes, you're right, there is no undergraduae business concentration.</p>
<p>Also, reputation wise, no Northeastern is nowhere near, but I would say with the revamping of their MBA program and the difficulty of getting in compared to the second bunch of schools I listed, I'd think it fits better into list one than two.</p>
<p>Suffolk is not bad. You are right to stick to the city. Forget the suburbs.</p>
<p>gibson99, I went to Suffolk for an open house and loved it. The location is fantastic, right on Beacon Hill. I think Suffolk and Emerson have the best locations in the city. Very urban, yet very New Englandy feel to it(can schools be charming,lol). Later in the day we walked over to Quincy Market and had a blast. I was left by the feeling that it's an up and coming school, one of those that, much like Northeastern, will be becoming more and more selective.</p>
