<p>I am currently a junior at The Ohio State University and I am trying to decide whether or not to transfer to WSU. I have been beating myself up over this topic the past couple weeks now and I am just trying to look for some advice. </p>
<p>A little more information:
Before I came to OSU, I was actually a Community College student. I just transfered to OSU for this fall quarter. The college atmosphere isn't really what I hoped it was going to be. Mostly because it is hard getting to know people when you don't live in the dorms and you live off campus. Really, at this point, it is not too much different from being at home. This seems to be a no brainer, go to WSU and save about 12k a year, but it isn't that easy. What keeps me from making the switch is that OSU has a top 25 business school, WSU is not even ranked in the top 100. I am trying to double major in Finance and Accounting, and I believe that those programs here at OSU are also top 20. So it's the somewhat prestigious degree that is making this a hard decision. I know a lot of people believe that a big name school will help you find a job early on, but after that, it is mostly your work experience that gets you jobs. I also know that a lot of these reports say that coming out of a bigger school, you are going to having a higher earning potential. </p>
<p>So is sticking with OSU and paying probably 20-25k more the better option? Is it going to pay out in the end? I do have plans of getting a Masters degree and maybe attempting the CPA exam. </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
