<p>I've been accepted to the business school at Penn St, UConn, and Rutgers-which school is best and why?</p>
<p>Congratulations! Great job!<br>
One thing I would mention is that Penn State U Park has an excellent reputation for career and job placement services. But in truth, all three schools have an excellent reputation. Choosing between the three schools is a nice problem to have.</p>
<p>Penn State is the best choice. It's better known throughout the country which can help when finding a job. Also, the overall college experience will be better with football games and the other intangibles that make college life special. It's also tough to beat State College for a great university town.</p>
<p>I will admit that I am biased, but Penn State truly is the best out of those three. I will simply reference the USNews rankings as a validation of my comment. Penn State is an amazing place. You will love it. Best of luck with your decision.</p>

<p>I'm in the same situation, but I'm leaning towards Rutgers for the New York connection, higher starting salaries, and similar prestige.</p>
<p>PSU for sure. just because their business program is probably more known then Rutgers' </p>
<p>I know the Rutgers rank is higher on the Business week one but honestly, read all the comments the kids have about the school compared to PSU. If I remember correctly most of the comments for Rutgers are bad.</p>
<p>If having a central college campus is something you want in a school, stay away from Rutgers. The "campus" is just random buildings throughout New Brunswick. It's what turned me off from applying there. Just a thought.</p>
<p>I would say it depends on your career choice, if you want to do Pharmacy/pre med i would say go with Rutgers. I have heard there pharmacy school is really really good and so is there med school placement. If your career choice is finance i would also say Rutgers...there is more alum on wall street from Rutgers than Penn state and many students can do internships while in school compared to the other 2.
If neither of those are your career choice and your just looking for best overall school then i would def go with Penn state.</p>
<p>finance is very good at PSU. One of the more competitive majors and most students get internships in junior year (students rate career services at PSU very high). Accounting is also excellent, as is supply chain. That said, both Rutgers and UConn offer fine programs. If you're in-state at any of the schools, go with in state to save huge tuition dollars. Otherwise, I'm partial to PSU...</p>
<p>go with whichever school is instate/cheapest. If none are instate, or all are about the same price, I would begin to examine which school you actually like, since a bad experience in school could trickle down to worse grades, and no matter how much better the rep. is you need those grades to get your foot in the door ;). I will say though PSU has a great rep. (I would be biased and a PSU eng. student :-P.)</p>
<p>thank you all for your great advice. i am a nj resident so psu would be about 10k more per year, but i don't really have much of a desire to go to rutgers... is that a stupid thought though? should i just go to rutgers??</p>
<p>10k isn't much of a difference if you feel it would give you a better experience. Try visiting both colleges to see which one you like more.</p>
<p>What state do you live in?</p>
<p>of the three, i like Penn State the best...</p>

We, too, are NJ residents. After visiting Rutgers and touring the campus(es), S said 'no way'. Although the 'Old Queens' campus was quite nice, he would have been on Busch, which did not leave a good impression. No connection with the rest of the university and no aesthetic appeal whatsoever. He is at PSU now and is very happy. My suggestion is to visit the campuses and get 'a feel' for them. See where you would be the happiest. IMO, the real problem with Rutgers is the disconnected campuses which tends to isolate students relative to their major.</p>
