I’ve been admitted to both these universities, and the cost is approximately the same. But I’m confused which university should I attend between these two.
Based on faculty publishing in their economics departments (Purdue, #116; UMass, #118), these schools appear difficult to distinguish for this field.
Do you want to live in the middle of Indiana or in Massachusetts? My daughter applied to both of these schools and loved each campus. I thought U Mass Amherst was my favorite campus out of all 8 schools she applied to. Good luck with your decision!
Boiler up! Purdue all the way! It’s just more in every way than UMass Amherst.
