I'm Eighteen, and I don't know what I want...Can you help me?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Although I'm still waiting on Michigan, I'm expecting a rejection, so I'm pretty much ruling it out. I've narrowed down my choices to Indiana and Wisconsin. My current major I would like to pursue would be something in business (maybe accounting or finance), but I'm NOT 100% if I want to do that. I have other interests including History and Philosophy. </p>

<p>Indiana:
-would cost me 27K per year (received 9k scholarship)
-Kelley Direct Admit
-Hutton Honors Admit
-parents went there, sibling currently goes there (this turns me off A LOT because I wish to go someplace different than them)
-pretty campus (although I don't like how spread out it is)
-about 5 hours away</p>

<p>Wisconsin:
-would cost 34k per year
-would have to apply at the end of freshman year to get into their business school (need ~3.5 gpa to get into their b-school)
-going to apply to their honors program
-pretty campus (I like lakeshore, not the urban areas as much)
-about 3 hours away</p>

<p>I know it looks like a no-brainer to go to Indiana, but I'm just not sure. Comments and suggestions are much appreciated.</p>

<p>Indiana sounds better to me. Better business school (and you’re guaranteed entry), less money, and a much better climate than Wisconsin!</p>

3

<p>Wisconsin is a great school, and I am probably going there, but I think Indiana is slighlty better for business and as it is cheaper, I would recommend it.</p>

<p>Thanks! anyone else?</p>

<p>I can’t help you decide, but I did want you to know I caught the excellent Alice Cooper reference.</p>

<p>Indiana is great in Business, Wisconsin trumps them in almost everything else. You don’t seem entirely sold on Business. If your parents can afford it, I would opt for Wisconsin. It is a GREAT university, especially if you are thinking about history they are top 10.</p>

<p>Bump! -and thank you Coureur for getting the reference.</p>

<p>University of Wisconsin- Madison</p>

<hr>

<p>Which Indiana university? The one in Bloomington?</p>

9

<p>Indiana University- Bloomington</p>

10

<p>Is there a reason you didn’t apply to UIUC? There you would have had the best of both worlds.</p>

11

<p>I was dissapointed in the Bloomington campus, it’s very dated/ not upkept.</p>

12

<p>I applied to UIUC and was accepted, but for various reasons, I do not want to go there.</p>

13

<p>Indiana is a big university so you will probably never see your sibling. Don’t give your sib the satisfaction of excluding you from a good “fit”!</p>

14

<p>Uh, in state at UIUC is better than OOS at Wisconsin as much as I LOVE Wisconsin.</p>

15

<p>^^^not really. they are about the same; no absolute significant differences.</p>

16

<p>Should I go to IU, even though I’m not sure I want to do business?</p>

17

<p>go to Indiana, better social life and business program</p>
