Penn State vs. Syracuse University (BUSINESS)

<p>any input would be nice in helping me make my final decision. Pros/Cons of each kind of thing would help. Im from New York and hope to land a job in NYC after graduation. THANKS</p>

<p>Many factors to consider:</p>

<p>Prestige:
Per Business Week 2009 Rankings for undergraduate B Schools:
Penn State - 38
Syracuse - 49</p>

<p>Location:
State College, PA to Laguardia Pl NYC - 4 hours ten min. approx.
Syracuse, NY to Laguardia Pl NYC - 4 hours 23 min approx.
(it’s a wash)</p>

<p>Penn State - BIG 10</p>

<p>Alumni Base -
Penn State - 1 in every 127 Americans is a Penn State grad.</p>

<p>Cost-
Even if you are out of state, Penn State is cheaper for the whole package, scholarships excluded.</p>

<p>Personal fit-That’s your call! Congrats on your acceptances.</p>

<p>I would go to penn state because Syracuse is a dying and unpleasant city.</p>
