<p>Going for business, Syracuse and penn state are very well known for business</p>
<p>Syracuse - nice campus, good business (Whitman), good sports/spirit (im a lax player), but seems like a run-down city (school ranked 58th in nation)</p>
<p>UDel - closer (i live in NJ), cheaper, nice campus, lots of friends going there, not as known for business though</p>
<p>Penn State - great business school, awesome football, but theres a hitch (i got into altoona for 2 years, university park for 2). I don't really like Altoona</p>
<p>Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!!!</p>
<p>For what its worth here’s my 2 cents.
Syracuse is a great school, and great alumni connections. For business that is very important. The area is terrible, I agree with you there. And the school is expensive unless you get a decent package.
U Del is also a good school, and although I haven’t been there, my brother has friends that go there, he says the surrounding area isn’t great either. Maybe a little warmer though.
As far as Penn goes. If you go into the main campus that would be my choice. I am not willing to be off a main campus for two years, but some people say it is more important where you graduate from rather than where you start.
I don’t know much about U Del’s Business School. I would check on the post graduation employment stats, and what corporations recruit at that school.</p>
<p>I do know that Syracuse is known for it corporate connections.</p>
<p>I am going there after a long decision myself. I hated the area the first time I saw it. I got over it though. I figure, if I really hate it I will transfer to another school, although that is not my intentions. But if you do well, and get a 3.0 you can transfer anywhere…it’s an option.</p>
<p>I probably didn’t give you much help, but my older brother says looks at the school, not the neighborhood, so that is what I did.</p>
<p>Good Luck</p>
<p>With your options I would say Syracuse all the way! Penn State is an awesome school (my second choice until I got accepted to SU) but I’d rather go to community college than Altoona for two years.</p>
<p>I understand people’s arguments about the old/rundown neighborhoods but as a student, I ask “Why does it matter?”</p>
<p>The vast majority of your days will be spent on campus or near by the campus area where you’re never really concerned about the livelihood of the surrounding neighborhoods. If you do go out, you’re going out to the better part of town anyway.</p>
<p>Im attending SU in the fall, its a great atmosphere and a fun school where i can get a great education. I would go there over any other</p>
