Commerce & Finance or IU's Kelley School of Business?

<p>Help!! My oldest is going in circles trying to decide between these two schools - he's direct admit & honors at KSB, and in C&F & may be considering NROTC at 'Nova. We've visited both & very much like both. Leaving aside financial and other obvious considerations like the difference in size and location, which school is better?? I know Kelley is ranked much higher, but Villanova stats on recruiting and placement look great, too. Son seems to think Villanova has a better all-around rep, but I wonder if that's really more just on the East Coast?? Any comments would be appreciated!!</p>

<p>Academically they are equivalent on the whole. For business yeah Indian is ranked much higher, but Villanova is equally impressive when it comes down to finding a job with amazing companies coming to campus. </p>

<p>He should make the decision based on if he wants a large state school atmosphere and kind of secluded location or if he wants a smaller, private and more preppy school located not too far from Philly.</p>

<p>Villanova will be ranked in the top 25 undergrd b-schools in business week</p>

<p>how do you know that Villanova will be top 25 in the undergrad business schools in businessweek?</p>

<p>I googled Business week and found this link regarding upcoming rankings.
