HPU or SJSU

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I am an international student, and I was just accepted at High Point University and San Jose State University. I want to study International Business. What are you options about these two Universities and which one do you think should I pick?</p>

<p>Don’t know anything about their international business programs, but these schools are totally different, so it depends what kind of environment you are looking for. SJSU is a big urban campus, most students commuting from the local area, very diverse with a lot of Hispanic and Asian students. HPU is much smaller, very up-scale campus in a suburban setting, mostly white and affluent students. There are some concerns about HPU fraternities, you can find another thread on this.</p>

<p>Ok, based on what you know, which one would you pick? I am not interested about joining to any fraternities</p>

<p>I would definitely pick HPU; HPU has a strong track record for success that extends internationally especially in the domain of finance and business. The college is just the right size where you personally will get the attention you need from professors and the faculty; I wouldn’t want to go to a state college (of 30k people) where you will surely get little attention from the people who will be teaching you. On that note, state colleges, in most cases, are usually not worth it due to the fact that after graduation you will likely be stuck with a low-paying (usually) in that state due to the fact that a college degree from a state college typically only carries weight in that state. So, I would definitely pick HPU on the grounds that their degree transcends all political borders; if you want more information I would contact the dean of business at HPU and ask him/her about the benefits of HPU’s international business program over that of other colleges. Hope I helped!</p>
