<p>Okay so thanks a lot for taking the time to review my post! :)</p>
<p>My concern is on whether receiving my finance degree in any of these colleges would be similar in quality or if there are any schools that are much better/not so good. If you could rank these and explain why the particular order I would greatly appreciate it.
(<em>Just so you know I do not have a preference on public vs. private and will definitely keep academics my priority in college... so no excessive partying. I will still have fun but want to excell in school primarily</em>)</p>
<p>The list is:
The University of Colorado (in Boulder, Colorado)
The University of Tapma (in Tampa, Florida)
Wittenberg University (in Springfield, Ohio)
The University of Portland (in Portland, Oregon)
Drake University (in Des Moines, Iowa)
The University of Kansas (in Lawrence, Kansas)
Menlo College (California)
University of Denver (Denver, Colorado)
Creighton University (Omaha, Nebraska)</p>
<p>i would have to say The University of Colorado is the best academically and prestige wise. I have not visited but everyone says it has a gorgeous campus. What do your grades and SATs look like? so i could suggest other schools and also how much can you/your parents afford? Any specific area or region? Looks like you prefer medium sized schools.</p>
<p>Here’s a ranking. Google is your friend.

<p>Im not entirely sure about the other schools, but I am in the finance program at Creighton and we are ranked in the top twenty, which I believe is the best of all of them? except Wittenberg, they are also at 19, and we are the number one university of our size in the midwest. I love it here it is unlike any other university. I would know I visited upwards of fifteen schools. Its an absolutely outstanding program, not only that but we are within walking distance of TD Ameritrade and Birkshire Hathaway.
