<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I am confused about how to make the final decision. I major in Hospitality and Tourism Management and I got offers from Delaware, Purdue and Temple, 2012 Fall. </p>

<ol>
<li><p>Delaware: From 2012 Fall, this program will be changed in one year. I think the time of studying is short. </p></li>
<li><p>Purdue: Purdue emphasizes much on the research, and I will not want to get PHD degree or be a teacher. And because of lots of researches, I may not have time or have opportunities to do internship. I think internship, especially my major, is beneficial for me to find jobs after graduating from the university. </p></li>
<li><p>Temple: The location is very good. And class time is after 4.00pm. I can have sufficient time to do internships. However, after graduating, if I do not find jobs, I will have to go back to China. The problem is that Purdue and Delaware have higher reputation than Temple in China, especially Purdue University (its rank is much higher). </p></li>
</ol>

<p>Hence, it is really difficult for me to make the decision. I hope that you can offer me some suggestion. Thank you very much.</p>

<p>If you review the TOP 10 colleges/university’s for your major,</p>

<p>Purdue is in the TOP 10 and ranks up there with UNLV and Cornell.</p>

<p>Temple and Delaware are much further down the list.</p>

<p>Also, remember that Purdue has tremendous name recognition in the USA and abroad.</p>

<p>Just some free facts and advice.</p>

<p>Best of Luck to you!</p>

<p>To back up 1811x2’s comments, Purdue has had a top ranked program for many years. Internships are a required element of the program and the new Marriott Hall (funded in part by a gift from the Marriott Foundation) is a beautiful facility… </p>
