<p>Can you please tell me which school is better in your opinion? (esp. for finance major)
Thanks in advance</p>
<p>quality is about same but for recruiting it depends on the region. USC's is more reputable in the Los Angeles area, Southern California and other parts of the West Coast and IUB Kelley is more reputable in the midwest. USC is also a more respected university and that does sometimes help in business but both business schools are great and to a certain point its really how well you do that is gonna affect your success in the business world. also Kelley is not put in the same regard as the university since it is more rigorous and one of the more "well-known" programs on campus like music or journalism. </p>
<p>USC is quite popular in Socal; i know because I live in the Los Angeles area but I decided to come to IU. Good luck man. To directly answer your question, both are great, it only depends on your personal preferences and your academic potential. everything else is pretty much equal.</p>
<p>I can only speak for the midwest (Kelley school of Business). Over here, IU's Kelley school of business is highly respected. If you go into accounting, all the big fours recruit on campus. They have excellent career resources.</p>
<p>They also have a 3+2 year BSB/MBA program. </p>
<p>I know USC is respected over on the west coast, too. It all depends on where you want to live, I guess. Either way, I think you'd be in a good program and will have job prospects after graduation. IU has excellent career resources, and I'm sure USC does, too.</p>
<p>i would definitely be at USC over indiana.</p>
<p>well forgiven that is your personal opinion and you have a right to it </p>
<p>also it doesn't help if you only say which school you like, explain why you like USC over Indiana so computerdeptrai can understand where your coming from</p>
<p>Dear Dcho711,
Thank you for taking your time to answer me. However, I have a question for you. It seems a private problem and of course you don't have to answer if you don't like it. My question is: At the time you applied for IUB, did you apply for USC? and can you please tell me why you choose IU over USC?</p>
<p>lol actually I did not apply to USC, wasnt really interested in the school in the first place(my cousin went there and is going there as a graduate student, I also was planning to apply ED to NYU - Stern but decided NYU was not a school I would enjoy, didn't apply to Michigan because the application was too much and I probaly couldn't afford it, I regret not applying to Clarement Mckenna though; thats a school you should look into, its a "business" LAC i think). I was actually choosing between UCLA and IU and me coming to IU was more of a personal decision than a decision based on which school was better for "business". I came here so I can expose myself to a different environment(culture, races, region etc.) in order to grow as a person. Dont ask me anything beyond what I just said because its sorta complicated heh. Honestly Computerdeptrai, it's really entirely up to you, both would give a great education I think. It really depends on what you're looking for in a college and what kind of business or specific job you are looking for. without more specific info., I don't think people can help you much other than give you general answers.</p>
<p>Dcho711 how do you feel being an out of state student at a large state school where woolen have known each other for years? I am actually looking at Kelley and Marshall too and I just want to get the general feel for them.</p>
<p>It depends on what you want to do in finance and where you want to do it. I cannot speak for USC because I do not go there, but I am sure they have a lot of alum along the west coast doing everything from banking, to asset management, to management consulting.</p>
<p>I do know that Indiana has a lot of alum in Chicago and New York for investment banking, and places well into asset management and management consulting. </p>
<p>If you say what you want to do within finance (it is a large field) pm me and I can tell you what IU does well and what it does not do too well.</p>
