Hey Guys. I’m trying to decide where to put my deposit down.
My options are:
Trinity College (CT)
Villanova
Miami of Ohio (they’re giving me $18,000 in scholarhsip money)
I’m intersted in going iton business so i’m not sure about Trinity.
Any thoughts?
<p>I really wouldn't be considering Trinity if I were you. If you know business is your thing, Trinity doesn't have as much to offer you. Both villanova and Miami have very strong business programs, but I believe villanova's is the better one</p>
<p>What's the bottom line financially on Miami v. Villanova?</p>
<p>Miami of Ohio is a public school so therefore it is cheaper. Miami (OH) has the far better business program and social life go there. </p>
<p>Villanova's business program is ranked 104 and I believe Miami of Ohio is in the 50's.</p>
<p>Definetely Miami of Ohio it is also cheaper.</p>
<p>Villanova I didn't get any scholarship money so it's about 40 thousand a year.</p>
<p>Miami is normally 30 thousand plus I got about 17 thousand in scholaship money.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone for your posts. They're very helpful.</p>
<p>So you're talking about more than $100,000 over four years to go to Villanova instead of Miami. Totally not worth it. Go to Miami.</p>
<p>I disagree! Trinity would be good for business. If you do want to go to grad school for business, Trinity is in the Wall Street Journal's top 50 Grad School Feeder Schools list, while the others are not.</p>
<p>I think the OP alexsimmons wanted to go into business for undergraduate. If that is the case definetely take Trinity off the list as they don't even offer business for undergraduate students. </p>
<p>Great if its on the top 50 feeders list but not great if they don't have what you are looking for as an undergraduate.</p>
<p>I say go to Miami of Ohio without thinking twice since it has an excellent business program, will be SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper for you and is great socially.</p>
<p>There you ago again, Dunkaroo - you are a tiresome fidget. Trinity has a great econ. dept. and is one of the top feeder schools to grad programs including MBA programs. Can you just give our school a rest? Move on...go trash another school like Babson maybe...Oh, I see you already have....How are you an expert on anything? Where do you go to school again?</p>
<p>Trinity is the best choice, it will put you in touch with the northeast companies. MU Ohio will get you a job in Cincinnatti if you are lucky. IF you need a business major to go into business, about 80% of top 10 MBAs would be out of luck. Econ from a LAC is often a better option.</p>
<p>BUT if money is a big issue Miami is good enough. Also, agreed, Dunkaroo knows nothing.</p>
<p>Not to mention Trinity's active and supportive alumni - maybe the other two schools also have a great alumni base, I don't know - but I do know that Trinity's alum are famous for lending a helping hand, taking on interns, introducing you to the right people, etc.</p>
