<p>I've been accepted into both Boston University's and Boston College's respective business schools, the School of Management and the Carroll School of Management. But, however, despite hours of research and a few visits to both campuses, I have not been able to come to a decision as of yet. I will make a final decision by the time the final week of this month rolls around, but I'm feeling rather indecisive at the moment. I like both schools.</p>
<p>My concentration is finance, and apparently finance is pretty strong at both schools.</p>
<p>Boston College</p>
<p>Pros:
- Better campus feel, greater sense of school spirit
- Ranks high in job placement after graduation, thanks to active alumni network
- Ranked higher in the BusinessWeek ratings
- Ethics are stressed in the curriculum</p>
<p>Cons:
- Rather inflexible core curriculum (You need to take an art class?)</p>
<p>Boston University</p>
<p>Pros:
- Curriculum stresses teamwork
- Curriculum also seems a bit more flexible than BC's
- Larger international presence on campus
- Business school is housed in a nicer building than BC's
- BU gave me plenty of grant money</p>
<p>Cons:
- Alleged grade deflation (the people at BU keep stressing that it's not true)
- Campus has a disjointed feel to it, though its definitely navigable</p>
<p>I will also be getting my financial aid package from BC next week, so that might help me make a better decision.</p>
<p>Any thoughts on either school? Anyone a current student at either school?</p>
