<p>Well, I'm really stumped on where to go. I'll list some pro's about each of the schools.</p>
<p>Pitt's College of Business Administration Pros:
-Nationally recognized and ranked
-A good selection of certificates and minors
-Semi Large Division 1 school
-Friendly Enviroment</p>
<p>Temple's Fox School of Business
-Currently constructing Alter Hall, an expansion
-Ranked 4th on "Most Wired" campus
-Semi Large Division 1 school
-Diverse</p>
<p>To be honest though, I dislike how Philadelphia looks pretty dirty and how it is cramped in some parts. I'll be making a visit to Pittsburgh this summer hoping that persuades me at all. Can anyone add a list of pro's and con's to this thread?</p>
<p>Large undergrad B-schools are notorious for using PhD students as teachers. I would ask each what proportion of classes are taught by non-faculty.</p>
<p>SuperLobster: Both schools are very urban in nature. But, Philly and Pittsburgh are extremely different from one another. Philly is a very big city.
Pittsburgh is a much smaller city with a "small town" feel.</p>
<p>Temple is not located in the greatest part of Philly. Personally, as far as safety is concerned, I would definitely pick Pitt over Temple.</p>
<p>If the negative aspect of urban living are of concern to you, you may not be real happy with Temple.</p>
<p>If you want a very "livable" urban environment, Pitt would be the way to go.</p>
<p>I don't know what your professional goals are within business, but often times, at the undergraduate level, a business major is not always best.
If you see yourself eventually going on for an MBA, I would suggest a good, solid liberal arts education at a smaller school.</p>
<p>But, if you're looking for a larger university, go for it.</p>
<p>If you are looking at Philly and are not looking at a "super-selective" college, you may want to take a look at Drexel. It's a large, urban university. A wonderful benefit is that it's located within 5 minutes from UPenn. The University City area where UPenn is located is a very active and exciting area for college students. But, on the fringe of Penn's campus safety becomes a concern. In any urban area, you'll be ok as long as you know the specific areas to avoid.</p>
