Slim Pickin, a lil help here, plz.

<p>As deadline is around the coener, I have pretty hard time to pick the school I want to go.</p>

<p>Im a transfer student and have gotten admissions from IU and OSU. Both pre-business however Ill be going to the business school anyway.</p>

<p>The thing is that the both schools have no difference. Including almost same tuition fee, reputation...Only difference is whether ill choose semester or quarter. Plus, im an international student so i aint got enough info' about those schools. </p>

<p>Kelley v/s Fisher.</p>

<p>could u throw some suggestions?</p>

<p>You're right, there's essentially no difference in costs for both universities, even their scholarships are similar. Both are large public schools.</p>

<p>The main two differences in city size and percent of OOS students. OSU is in a large city (Columbus, population 750,000). IU is in a small college town (Bloomington, population 70,000). Indiana has 37% OOS students, whereas Ohio State only has 14. </p>

<p>Some minor differences - Indiana has one of the nicest campuses in the world, whereas Ohio State i've heard mixed reviews on. The Kelley School of Business also ranks higher in nearly every aspectcompared to the Fisher School of Business, but it's not that drastic of a difference to pay extra for.</p>

<p>thank u</p>

<p>1 mo' thing, though. Percent of OOS students can't be the crucial factor when i choose the school, does it?
Maybe, city size can be...</p>

<p>So... almost no disparity...
This is gonna be the toughest decision i've ever made.</p>

<p>% of OOS students was an issue for me, as I actually wanted to meet people from out-of-state where I went to school. It provided a more diverse population, as you have different viewpoints on society. If Indiana was 95% in-state like some of the UC's, UTexas, and Florida, then I wouldn't feel like I fit there, because everyone has the same political views, they all come liking the same sports teams, all having the same type of high school experience. However, it's nice at IU because for every 6 IU farmers who had a graduating class of 18, you have a kid from a suburb of Chicago who had a graduating class of over 1,000, a kid from Long Island, or a kid from Ohio.</p>

<p>That makes sense.</p>

<p>thank u for the answers.</p>

<p>so... r u in Kelley?</p>

<p>"for every 6 IU farmers who had a graduating class of 18" -- come on now, that's not really a very fair characterization of Indiana high school students who choose to attend IU! There are a ton of kids from large schools across the state who attend. Besides that, I definitely agree with you that having 40% come from out of state is a big plus.</p>
