Hi all,
As we know decisions are all out by now, but I am having trouble choosing between UIUC and Syracuse. Wanted to know if anyone else had been through this problem or had any thoughts. Cost is roughly the same and my dilemma is such that I liked both schools for different reasons
Thanks
Hi,
I am also an accounting major, but I go to SUNY Albany. However, I have done so much research on different universities and their accounting programs, so I feel like I can help out.
The better of the two for accounting? Hands down, University of Illinois. It has an amazing accounting program. Like, it has one of the best accounting programs in the country.
I actually got into Syracuse University and obviously declined it for Albany. Though SU might have a better national reputation in general, its accounting program is not as good as albany in my opinion. If cost is equal for SU and UIUC, go to UIUC. Overall college experience would be great at either school.
Btw, as long as a university’s school of business is AACSB accredited (which SU and UIUC both are), then the accounting program will pretty much be the same. Accounting is accounting; it’s pretty much taught in a similar fashion anywhere you go. The reason I say UIUC is simply because of national ranking; check it out on google. However, if your heart is set on SU, then that is fine too!
