<p>Here are two good links: [If</a> You Know You’ll Get An MBA…](<a href=“Bloomberg Businessweek - Bloomberg”>Bloomberg Businessweek - Bloomberg)</p>

<p>and <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/737190-undergrad-business-study-graduate-mba.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/737190-undergrad-business-study-graduate-mba.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I feel that since there are 4635476573 undergraduate business majors, getting a solid liberal arts bachelors degree (that can prepare you for a VARIETY of life’s opportunities) is much more enriching and valuable. You can only do so much studying marketing/accounting as an undergraduate.</p>

<p>a solid undergraduate bachelors degree seems to be much more intellectual stimulating and rewarding. </p>

<p>just my $0.02. :)</p>

<p>Thanks for the links and the insight. I’ve got some serious research and soul searching to do!</p>

<p>With the exception of the weather, I think Michigan-Ann Arbor meets most of your criteria:</p>

<p>“Good business, engineering, journalism, and sports management programs (planning on majoring in either business or engineering, I haven’t decided yet. The journalism program is nowhere near a must, just would be a nice thing to possibly minor or double major in. For the sports management programs, I’m interested in both undergrad and grad programs of the school because I might take graduate courses at the end of my time in undergrad (if the college I go to allows it))”</p>

<p>Michigan’s undergraduate Business program is generally rated among the top 3 or 4 in the nation. Michigan’s undergraduate Engineering programs are also generally rated in or around the top 5, particularly Aerospace, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. Altough Michigan does not have a Journalism program, the University has two excellent campus Newspapers (the Daily and the Review) and a growing Communications program. Finally, the Sports Management program at Michigan is good but not great.</p>

<p>“Nice dorms”</p>

<p>Dorms at the University of Michigan are decent. Some are good others are just average. </p>

<p>“Nice campus - taking into consideration mostly what sports facilities are available for all students to play on (indoor/outdoor, basketball courts, possibly mountains available for skiing if you have a car, etc), food options on campus, and the beauty of it”</p>

<p>The campus is very nice, and there are many facilities open to students forplaying sports, but there are no real mountains for skiing in the area. </p>

<p>“Not known for excessive partying. I see myself partying some in college, but I want to be able to succeed socially even if I didn’t.”</p>

<p>Michigan is not a party school. Of course, given its size, you will always find parties if you look for them, but on the whole, the school does not have a party vibe.</p>

<p>“Warm weather (at least not freezing, moderate is okay as well)”</p>

<p>Michigan is cold in winter! September and October are fine, as are March and April, but November through Frbruary are cold. </p>

<p>“Good D1 sports teams (for watching, not playing)”</p>

<p>Michigan holds its own in this department. The football program needs no introduction, it is the winningest program in the history of college sports and its stadium, which should be completely rennovated by the time you start college in the fall of 2010, is consistantly the largest or second largest sports venue in the US. Hockey is always intense and fun to watch and consistantly competes for the National Championship. The Basketball program is finally back on track and could be a force in the future. </p>

<p>“I’m looking for safeties, matches, and reaches.”</p>

<p>Michigan would be a match for you.</p>
