<p>I live in New Jersey and I am currently attending Uconn. I am highly considering transferring to Rutgers for the spring semester and I have a few concerns. I am interested in business (accounting or finance). Besides Rutgers being much cheaper and closer to home/NYC (which i want) will it offer a better chance of meeting the right people? Uconn seems to offer more organizations for business but does that even matter? I would just like some opinions for what I should do.</p>
<p>I have trouble believing that UConn has better business relations than Rutgers. They are comparable within their own state. Obviously it will be less expensive for you.</p>
<p>“Uconn seems to offer more organizations for business but does that even matter?”</p>
<p>Not really. What might matter would be the career center. But even that won’t matter as much as your own initiative and personal drive.</p>
<p>Many jobs are acquired through networking, not necessarily where you got your degree. </p>
<p>My H is experiencing unemployment right now & has landed a couple of interviews just by contacting former co-workers. Good advice: when you leave a job, do not burn your bridges behind you, you may need need references, contacts, etc for the rest of your career. As no one stays at a company for 40 years plus & then retires, those days are gone, unless of course, you own your own business & are self-employed.</p>
<p>Where ever I end up I will always try to build connections. I just want to know in your eyes what school would be a better choice for a future in business. Thanks again</p>
