<p>I am transfering from a community college in Massachusetts where I live. I was accepted to UConn but I am still waiting to hear back from UMass Amherst; and I have to give UConn a decision by the 18th. Assuming, and hoping, I get into UMass I could really use some help about which would be a better decision. I am going to be a sophomore and I am going to study finance. I am wondering which business school is better (I know UConn has a better rep but how important is that difference and more importantly which will be more beneficial in finding a job after school?, etc.). Right now costs are playing a major factor since it would be about 20K cheaper a year going to Umass. Also a factor I was accepted to UConn but not their business school. I heard you don't start any business classes until junior year at UConn but I would still need to apply and get accepted to the business school. I am also wondering how the housing and social life/frats/pledging are for transfer students at these schools. Any help is greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>I would say that if you get accepted to UMass for business (the Isenberg School), then go to UMass. It’s not worth the extra $20K to go to UConn not knowing if you’ll actually get into the b-school.</p>
