Rutgers or Syracuse?

<p>I have been accepted to Rutgers business school and Syracuse Whitman business school and I am having sooooo much trouble deciding which one to choose. I'm from NJ and I am looking to get a great education but also have a great social life.</p>

<p>Syracuse
pros:
-US news ranked business school
-great school spirit
-great basketball team (my favorite sport)
-I can get out of NJ and make new friends
-great alumni association
-great job opportunities and internships</p>

<p>cons:
-severe cold weather
-not a lot of diversity
-not aware of the social scene there</p>

<p>Rutgers
pros:
-a lot of diversity
-big campus
-in-state tuition
-most of my senior class is going there so I will be among a lot of friends
-well-known school so I'm assuming great job opportunities
-great parties and great social scene</p>

<p>cons:
-several distractions through parties
-I'm not sure how well the business school ranks</p>

<p>Basically I like the social scene of Rutgers, but I like the academics and opportunities of Syracuse. help!</p>

<p>Brother-in-law went to Rutgers (graduated 15 years ago w/5-year BA/MBA program) and worked for top accounting firm before heading to Ivy law school; now in banking, doing very well. I know a ton of people who went to Rutgers and highly recommend it. Plus, it’s possible to do NYC internships during the school year from New Brunswick, not so much from 'Cuse.</p>
