<p>Hii! So um, I got into IU as a pre-business student, intending to major in Economic Consulting. I've heart that Kelley School of Business is one of the best in The States, which I was totally fine with going to. But then I got accepted by Northeastern, I mean it was my safety school more or less, but the thing is they've offered me 10,000$ per year from sophomore year. And I don't know which one to go to now. </p>

<p>I'm taking a lot of things under consideration, if you guys could guide me a little more it'll be so helpful! I have to make my decision in less than two months! </p>

<p>Kelley School of Business, is it prestigious in terms of long term (getting well-paid jobs and all) as compared to NeU?
Would a B.S degree in business (Economic Consulting) be way more beneficial than a degree from Northeastern? Are the rankings true? I mean closely?</p>

<p>People are saying that it's better to be in a city for a business degree, does that make a difference? </p>

<p>The diversity, the people, the teachers? I have no idea about the type, some say NeU has more diversity, is that supposed to make a difference?</p>

<p>Is the scholarship a lot, taking into consideration the fees of NeU? </p>

<p>How much is there to do in Bloomington? I mean I know NeU is in Boston, but since I've never been there I can't associate anything with anything haha. </p>

<p>I honestly do not care about the atmosphere, like the rain wind snow stuff, I enjoy all kinds haha. </p>

<p>Anyway, so boiling it down ~ </p>

<p>Indiana has a better degree to offer with no money offered though, but NeU has offered to pay for my tution, but I don't know about the academics of that school. (I kinda actually do have a financial need; my parents will barely be able to fund me. SO yeah, please any help would be really...helpful. </p>

<p>Please tell us the costs-to-you of each school after merit and financial aid and without loans.</p>

3

<p>IUB - I have not recieved any sort of aid or scholarship unfortunately, so my total cost as an out of state student is about $45,000. </p>

<p>Northeastern University - With the scholarship, total cost is $43,000</p>

4

<p>Wait, your parents can’t fund you and you end up with two choices over $40,000? Do you know that you can only borrow $5,500 your first year?
Where else have you applied?</p>

5

<p>They can fund me, but it’s going to be tight at their end.
I got into 4-5 others but narrowed it down to these two and Syracuse Uni. </p>

<p>Indiana University at Bloomington hands down.
on a side note
" I have no idea about the type, some say NeU has more diversity, is that supposed to make a difference?" lots of people say it because they hear it over and over again and just repeat. what does it really matter or mean? not sure.</p>
