<p>Hate myself for bringing this to the internet but...</p>
<p>I earned a full ride to Rutgers (Honors Program and Business School, tuition room and board) while earning a lot of financial aid to Villanova School of Business (it'll cost about $20-25,000 per year). Nova's business school is definitely much better (ranked #7 this year for undergraduate business schools), but I'm having a hard time determining if it's worth giving up a full ride to Rutgers Honors and Business Schools. Intended Finance, Accounting and Math majors. Rutgers seems more practical, but I do like Villanova a lot more socially and academically. Any input?</p>
<p>Who will pay the $80-100,000 that you would owe for Villanova? If it is you, via loans, I would advise not putting yourself in debt.</p>
<p>As a former corporate vice president at a large regional bank, I had Villanova grads and Rutgers grads as both colleagues and employees. The only difference in the corporate context was that one school started with the letter V and the other the letter R. Both schools have good reputations in the region and you will get a great education at either institution. IMHO, having the opportunity to graduate debt free is the deal maker here.</p>
<p>definitely take advantage of the full ride 
tuition loans are one less thing you’ll have to worry about as an adult</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for the advice!.. With a lot of thought, I’m almost positive I’ll be attending Rutgers next year… Enrolling soon!</p>
