<p>Looking to major in Accounting, have been direct-admitted to both, Iowa approximately $15K more/per year. Is Iowa worth that?</p>
<p>I’m pretty familiar with both universities and would say that in general there aren’t significant differences between these 2…especially in a field like undergrad accounting, in which what you learn is curriculum dependent rather than dependent on the scholarship and expertise of individual professors. In other fields there might be some differences, but you can probably get to the same places from each…neither is going to make somebody choke on their pate’ in the Hamptons when you mention you went there, and neither is going to get you on the fast track to being king of the world. At both you’ll be able to get a very good education if you try, or a mediocre education if you are lazy.</p>
