<p>Hey everyone, I am really struggling to make up my mind between attending UConn or James Madison University as the May 1st deadline draws near and I would really appreciate some input. I absolutely loved JMU when I visited and was also impressed by UConn's campus and outstanding facilities. I plan on studying business and know that UConn's reputation and northern location (I live outside of Boston) is better for obtaining good jobs in the business field. It seems as if I would enjoy the overall atmosphere and experience greater at JMU, but am not sure if it is worth the academic sacrifice. Also, JMU will be about $8K cheaper than UConn, which is a moderate concern for my family. Where do you think I should go? Any help will be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Go to uconn.....that actually is an easy decision...</p>
<p>Anyone else?</p>
<p>UConn for sure!</p>
<p>You sound as though you are looking for a legitimate reason to go to JMU. The fact that you believe it would be more enjoyable is reason enough. The fact that it is cheaper doesn't hurt, either.</p>
<p>I have just been accepted to University of Arizona and Michigan State University.
I am a business marketing major and i am looking for a fun yet reutationable university. </p>
<p>I have done my research, an UA and MSU ranks almost the same under "US News 2006 undergraduate business program".</p>
<p>I haven't been to either campus but i hear MSU's campus is great because it is an agricultural college. But UA is based in tuson, AZ, and i have seen pics of the campus and it looks great.</p>
<p>I know that the party scenes are also great at UA and MSU. </p>
<p>Academic wise, UA and MSU holds about the same also. Does anyone know if majority of students at UA or MSU are smart (i mean will influence ur future) or are they just a bunch of average Joes??????????</p>
<p>But i think MSU hold it over UA for reputation wise, i mean it isn't a bad school. </p>
<p>I got a scholarship to UA for three years but never got one from MSU.</p>
<p>PLEASE HELP ME MAKE A DECISION!!!!! I"M BEGGING SOMEONE, SHARE SOME WISEDOM!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>This is such a tough decision for me! Any other opinions?</p>
<p>uconn all the way</p>
<p>Bryguy41: Go to the place you like best - sounds like JMU from your post. Not THAT much difference in prestige between these two schools. Good luck!!</p>
<p>for bryguy - UCONN</p>
<p>for Nikeel Patel - Mich State</p>
<p>i think you should to to JMU if that is where you really want to go. Just follow your gut and you won't regret it. i had the same problem, but in the end, i just did what i wanted, despite what others told me</p>
