Minnesota or UW-Madison

College Search & Selection

<p>I have about two weeks left to make my decision, but it is hard to choose between these two schools. </p>

<p>Madison would cost around $4000 more a year.
I want to major in either finance, MIS, business, etc (not sure).
I was accepted into Minnesota's Carlson business school. If I go to Madison, I would have to apply for admittance into their business school after freshman year. If I didn't get in, I would probably go for economics. </p>

<p>Any insights, comments, suggestions? I'm trying to look at the big picture (job opportunities after graduation, education level, internship opportunities, etc). </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>The schools are very similar although Madison may have a slight advantage in terms of academics and overall prestige. Their business schools and econ departments are comparable with perhaps a slight advantage to Minnesota. It ultimately depends on how much $4,000 per year means to you and your family and which environment you like better.</p>
