<p>Debating between the University of Delaware and the University of Florida as an OOS. Can you guys help me compare the two based on overall education and the strength of both the business schools and career centers? Any other key factors that could help me decide between the two would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks</p>
<p>I know nothing about UF, but: where do you think you might live after graduation? Obviously the alumni connections will be stronger in the areas around each school. </p>
<p>Then there’s your cost of attendance, the general vibe of the campuses (if you’ve visited both), and of course the weather, which is not necessarily a slam dunk for Florida (lots of people, like me, hate the heat.) </p>
<p>Then there’s proximity to culture/major cities, if you care about that. From UD you have easy access to Philadelphia, NYC, and DC, while Gainesville is pretty far from anything. Which brings up another point: travel costs, depending on where you live.</p>
<p>Good luck with your choice!</p>

<p>Here are the post grad surveys, UD is current to 2011 graduates
Florida has 2012 data, and a map of what states most of their grads got jobs.</p>
<p>Bump! Anyone please help! thanks</p>
<p>The only thing that I can add is that while our D was at UD (she graduated in 2010) several of her friends were business majors and were able to find summer internships at Fortune 500 Banking/Accounting firms in NYC and were subsequently hired by these firms post graduation. I am not saying this is would be the experience of all business majors at UD but it was their experiences. After our D graduated with her BSN she went to work as an RN on an ICU Unit at Cornell Presbyterian Medical Center in NYC. She found that the city was loaded with UD graduates working in many various businesses. So if you are interested in possibly working in NYC after graduation the opportunity seems to be possibly available. The Business School at UD (being relatively close to NYC) does appear to have some connections to Wall Street firms. The current President of UD was the Dean of the Wharton School at Penn before coming to UD. Good luck in making your decision.</p>
