i am now deciding between Bryant and Babson. I really like Bryant more but Babson has a higher reputation. Will the value of my Bryant degree be the same as my Babson degree?
If you can get into Babson then go there. But in the end of things where you get your degree isn’t going to make one degree more “valuable” then another. I bet you have heard this 1000 times but it is true, all that matters if how hard you work after you’re out of college. I know you might not think it is true, but when you think about it the differences between colleges are the following: Location, Staff, and Network of Alumni. Of course going to Stanford or Harvard might help you land a job quicker because they have such a good network, but in the end a student who went to a “regular” college can still land the same job and get the same amount of money. So basically here is my take on it. Go to Bryant if they offer you a scholorship, if the price is the same then go to Babson. If Bryant is cheaper then go to Bryant. For example, my older brother got into UC Berkeley but University of Washington offered him a full scholarship, so he choose to go to UW even though Berkeley is “considered to be better”.
Go to Babson. Bryant degree is worthless and the connections you make there are nothing compared to babson. If you’re 100% committed to a career in business fields choose Babson. Good community and networking opportunities. In the long run, the cost of the degree doesnt matter if you get a decent job. You can get an investment banking position at a BB bank and make 100k a year but not in Bryant. Just search the bloomberg terminal database if you dont belive me.
