<p>Alright, I need to make a decision as to where I will be attending soon and I have narrowed it down to these two schools.</p>

<p>I visited them both and loved both campuses, but I think that Indiana's is prettier.</p>

<p>As of right now, I am probably going to go into international business. I am currently enrolled in AP Spanish and Japanese 4 and will continue taking Spanish and Japanese in college.</p>

<p>My breakdown between them</p>

<p>-Campus IU<msu -dorms="" iu<<<msu="" -value="" iu="MSU" -academics="">MSU???
-Sports IU<<<MSU</msu></p>

<p>Michigan State is offering a study abroad scholarship. </p>

<p>I am not a direct admit to Kelley.</p>

<p>I am from Illinois and money is not an issue.</p>

<p>I can picture myself at both and think that I will be very happy with which ever one I choose, but I just can't figure out which one! Opinions will be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Sorry, just to clarify, you say that IU’s campus is better but then you say that

</p>

<p>I’m just confused and would like clarification :).</p>

<p>Eh. It could refer to…the layout perhaps? Opposed to like…the flora/fauna of the campus. <em>Shrug</em></p>

<p>Well the reason I ask is because if the OP mixed up > and < which would make our advice vastly different.</p>

<p>Ah! My mistake. I meant to say IU>MSU for my opinion on the campuses.</p>

<p>I just have to say that the MSU study abroad program is outstanding, and if you have any desire to study abroad (especially with the study abroad scholarship) MSU has many programs that are tailored to students who are interested in international business (particularly in Europe, but also numerous other places around the globe) as well as international internships. </p>

<p>In terms of academics I would say that MSU and Indiana are comparable (given, the Indiana b-school is ranked higher than MSU’s but I’d say that we have a very respected business school in its own right). MSU’s language classes are pretty good too (but harder than one would expect). </p>

<p>Social life though at MSU is better and more lively in general, arguably. It doesn’t hurt that our sports teams are significantly better than Indiana’s :stuck_out_tongue: (for now). One of my friends’ friends went to Indiana for a year and a half and ended up transferring here because it was just more fun and the people were nicer (and in a more exciting atmosphere, not just in terms of sports and parties). I’m certain that Indiana would be a fantastic place to go to school (any big 10 school is awesome in its own right), but that’s just one viewpoint. It really comes down to what you thought of visiting each campus and what you feel. Otherwise the pros and cons seem to cancel each other out. It sounds like you’ll be happy at either, but ultimately where do you want to go?</p>
