Help Me Decide What College To Choose

Applying to College

<p>Okay, here are the schools that I got into. Keep in mind that I got into the business schools at all of these and I plan on doing Finance. I'm looking for a school with a good job placement at ibanking firms. Also, I'd like a good overall college experience - I don't want to go to a school where its only academics 24/7. Good parties, Frats, Overall a fun time while being good in academics. Here are my options:</p>

<p>Villanova
Boston U
Northeastern
Indiana U</p>

<p>I'm waiting to hear from:</p>

<p>Cornell
U Michigan (Deferred)</p>

<p>If I get into UMich, I'm most definitely going, but the chances of that happening aren't too high so I'm looking for alternatives. I was thinking Indiana U, but overall as a school, its not ranked too well. I hear Villanova is a bunch of stuck up kids...not what I really want. Northeastern and Boston U don't seem to have good business schools in terms of rankings and job placement at ibanking firms.</p>

<p>I'd like to hear what you guys have to say. Thx</p>

<p>Do you know how well their placement is at ibanking firms? I plan to major in Finance which they are ranked 7th in...but I can't find any site that lists what firms recruit from Kelley.</p>

<p>Why don't you call the career offices at those schools and just ask them how their ibanking placement is?</p>

<p>hi i got into Indiana Kelly and Michigan too, at this point its between Indiana and Bentley College, a business college in Boston that is great and on the rise, their accoutning program is right behind MIT's. Am visiting Indiana in a week, but a friend just got back this past weekend and LOVED it, she was more against it then me not wanting to leave a big city atmoshphere but said the whole experience was amazing and now she is almost sure she is going unless she gets into Brown. Call Kelly, I have gotten alot of awnsers from them directly. Good luck!
I visited Michigan, and just didn't care for the school, the dorms were horrible, too many new yorks, no offense I am from NY but want a change, Bu for business, fair. I was waitlisted from Villanova but still know Kelly is way above both.</p>

<p>Thanks Kelley...I'm leaning towards Indiana overall as well, but UMich is a lot better school. Either way, I think if I work my butt off and get a good GPA at Kelley, I'll have a good chance of getting into a top ibanking firm.</p>
