<p>What do you guys think of Boston University and Syracuse University? I am literally undecided between the two and BU will cost ~2k less than Syracuse for me. For somebody who is interested in Accounting & Finance, where should I attend? I prefer a campus setting, although BU being in Boston makes up for that (kind of). Please list some pro/cons & differences or anything that can help me decide. I really appreciate it.</p>
<p>I have visited Syracuse (liked it a lot) and am about to visit BU this week.</p>
<p>I don’t think anyone can answer this for you because the dollar differences are not huge - unless they matter to you. I don’t know anything about Syracuse business. I would suggest looking at the websites to see if either school has an approach that appeals to you. SMG has a specific approach to business education. I have no idea if Syracuse does or if it’s a traditional business curriculum. But no one can decide for you about city versus campus, etc.</p>
<p>The dollar differences are not significant, but I’m just looking for info about both schools’ business programs in comparison with one another, if anybody knows. I mean, the Syracuse Orange Fund seems like a great program, but it is highly selective within, so admission would be rather difficult. But for BU, obtaining a minor in either econ or international relations seems really interesting. Can anyone comment on these?</p>
<p>Jobs after business school are often dependent on alumni connections; examine this from both schools if it comes down to this (and you can’t decide on other factors, like being in the middle of a city v campus environment)</p>
<p>Of course you can do econ or IR. That’s common. People combine all sorts of disciplines with SMG to match what they care about. You can even get a 2nd degree.</p>
