<p>I can not decide between which one of these three schools. i think they are all beautiful campuses and love them all. i am going to be going into business school and i can not decide on which school to pick and which will help me more in the long run when looking for a job, etc. Which school should i go to. cost of tuiton is not a factor in my decision making process</p>
<p>You can always consult the various ratings, but I wouldn’t make a decision based upon them alone - and small differences are not important. The 2012 Business Week undergraduate business rankings have it #23 Miami, #45 Purdue and #51 MSU. In case you are thinking about accounting, the 2010 Public Accounting Report (PAR) rankings of undergraduate accounting programs as #9 MSU and #17 Miami and no rank for Purdue. </p>
<p>All three are public schools - are you in-state for any of them (OH, IN, MI)? If you are in-state and like all three equally, why would pay OOS tuition? Where do you want to work when you have graduated - Detroit, Cincinnati, Indy? I’m sure the home state school would be just fine in those cases. If you are coming to Chicago all three have good reputations - however, Miami in particular has a heavy Chicago contingent. In the interest of full disclosure, my DS chose Miami over two other Big Ten schools - Madison and Bloomington.</p>
<p>You say you like all three campuses. Have you really thought about this? MSU and Purdue are almost twice the size of Miami. What are the class sizes going to be? While corn and soybeans abound around all three campuses, the topography is definitely different in the rolling hills of Ohio than the flatlands of Indiana. While its been a few years, I don’t recall East Lansing as being as flat as Purdue or UIUC. If winter weather is a concern, while still four seasons, it will definitely be warmer with less snow in southern Ohio versus East Lansing and West Lafayette.</p>
<p>When you think of Purdue, you think of engineering. At Miami, the Farmer School is the “big man on campus”. Since the overall prestige of the universities depends in a large part on these schools, you have to assume they those schools would receive a large amount of the resources. I don’t know enough about MSU to know if that is true, but most MSU grads I have met have been business majors. Maybe someone else can comment.</p>
<p>I bet if you think about it a little more, you will come up with a favorite. The schools are comparable enough that there is no right or wrong answer - only what you (or your parents) think is best for you. Good luck.</p>
