Recruiting

College Majors Business Major

<p>So i have decided to limit my colleges to UCLA (bizecon) , USC (marshall) , and UO Honors (lundquist).</p>

<p>Now, I have heard that businesses recruit from UCLA and USC fairly often because both colleges are in the Los Angeles area, a hotspot for businesses. However, UO is in Eugene, Oregon and although they have a fairly okay business program, I just don't know if Fortune 500 companies will come there to recruit and offer large salaries for outcoming college graduates. That's one of the reasons I am thinking of paying a ridiculous amount of money to attend USC or UCLA instead of my full ride to UO... The thing is also, that I want to get an MBA after my undergraduate studies so that will cost me even MORE money, something my parents probably just can't afford.</p>

<p>Also, I hear that businesses that recruit you often pay for your MBA... is that true? So I'm at a dilemma. I want to be recruited by a high paying firm hopefully out of college. But I still need money to continue 4 my mba education.</p>

<p>So what would be the best decision? Are the networking and business recruitments from UO good too?</p>

<p>AN education is an investment - while you may save some money now by going to UO, you most probably will lose a lot 5 years down the lane. While going to UO might get you an average of 0.4 interviews going to UCLA and USC might get you an average of 2.1 interviews. USC and UCLA have international flair. If it was me - I would choose USC, then UCLA then UO. They are just better business programs, more heavily recruited and have better resources. I do not thunk you will be making a bad choice by going to UCLA or USC.</p>

<p>So honestly in your opinion, would you say 42k (including all expenses) for UCLA or USC > 5k for UO (same deal) due to future payoffs?</p>

<p>If you're in state, then UCLA definitely is not 42k a year</p>
