<p>Okay so thanks a lot for taking the time to review my post! </p>

<p>My concern is on whether receiving my finance degree in any of these colleges would be similar in quality or if there are any schools that are much better/not so good. If you could rank these and explain why the particular order I would greatly appreciate it.
(<em>Just so you know I do not have a preference on public vs. private and will definitely keep academics my priority in college... so no excessive partying. I will still have fun but want to excell in school primarily</em>)</p>

<p>The list is:
The University of Colorado (in Boulder, Colorado)
The University of Tapma (in Tampa, Florida)
Wittenberg University (in Springfield, Ohio)
The University of Portland (in Portland, Oregon)
Drake University (in Des Moines, Iowa)
The University of Kansas (in Lawrence, Kansas)
Menlo College (California)
University of Denver (Denver, Colorado)
Creighton University (Omaha, Nebraska)</p>

<p>I would replace Drake with the University of Iowa. Iowa has a very good finance program. Check out the Hawkinson scholar program…they actually place some people with NYC investment banking firms. </p>
