Stern or Northwestern(Weinburg)?

<p>I'm looking to eventually go into business/management/operations research - but at the same time i think a solid lib arts bground is important for career flexibility in business.</p>

<p>My paretns are pushing for stern because of the connections and job opportunities that I could get in NYC. But I heard a lot of things about Stern that makes me wonder if I should just go NW.</p>

<p>What i have agaisnt Stern:</p>

<p>-No typical college 'campus' experience - i think the campus experience is invaluable.
-expensive daily living costs (going out, eating, and just chilling in the city is mo expensive)
-non existant sports (NW is at least in the Big10)
-huge student body so I hear that individuals are almost jus treated as a #
-I hear people are pretty snotty/non-friendly.
-this might be me being shallow, but NW is probably considered more prestigious than NYU stern</p>

<p>What my parents have agaisnt NW:
-too far and thus expensive travel fees (I live in NJ)
-not necessarily strong business wise and no separate management program
-cold (chicago winters)
-after 4 years in college, I might end up settling in Chicago which my parents dont like cause they want the fam to be near each other
-less job/intern opportunites in chicago than in NYC</p>

<p>AH wuhtf to do.
What school do you think would be a better fit for me?</p>
