<p>Hello all, </p>

<p>Recently I have been struggling with this decision. I want to major in international business and international relations. Here is a little pro-con for each college. Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated! </p>

<p>University of Rochester
Pros
--Full Ride
--Open Curriculum
-- Renaissance Scholar</p>

<p>Cons
--Food
--Outside City </p>

<p>Colgate University
Pros
--Great financial aid
--Benton Scholar
--Somewhat close to NYC/Boston </p>

<p>Cons
--More strict curriculum </p>

<p>Claremont Mckenna
Pros
--Great weather
--Great reputable LAC
--Near big city</p>

<p>Cons
--No undergrad business major
--Not very well known in the East Coast</p>

<p>I’d probably pick between the two at lower cost, esp since your third doesn’t have the undergrad business major you are looking for. You’ll have to decide which of the pros/cons means more to you. That’s not something others can really answer. We could answer for “us,” but not necessarily for “you.”</p>

<p>Claremont has financial economics and economics-accounting as majors, whereas Colgate and UR have nothing even close to a business major.</p>

<p>How does OP feel about the Colgate’s rural location and its jock and frat culture? It’s the nation’s smallest NCAA D1 school.</p>

<p>@rhg3rd University of Rochester does have an undergraduate business I believe. Would you pick University of Rochester with a full ride over CMC?</p>

<p>Sorry, I missed the economics and business strategies major but knew there was Simon for MBA at UR.</p>

<p>How much money difference between CMC and UR? How do your schools stack up in terms of study abroad or special terms for IR?</p>

<p>I would choose based on cost and where you want to work (east coast vs. west coast)</p>

<p>There is no way I would pass up a full ride to Rochester.</p>

<p>CMC is among the nation’s most selective schools and has great weather, but unless cost is not a factor a free ride from a good school is hard to turn down.</p>
