UMD or BU for business?

<p>I am thinking about either finance or accounting and maybe minor in economics. BU is in the city so it has great internship opportunities but their career center has received low grades and negative feedback. UMD's is ranked higher in all areas and it seems to do a good job of providing extracurricular activities to tie in with business (fellowships, scholars, etc.) but it is not in the city, which is a negative to me because i absolutely love city life. </p>

<p>Do I take the school with cheaper school ($32,000 compared to $42,000) with better academics or do i pay the extra money to enjoy the lifestyle that I've dreamed about?</p>

<p>You can always live in the city after you graduate. Cheaper school + better academics seems the best route to me.</p>

<p>which of these two have better prestige in the business world?

<p>BU isn’t worth the money.</p>

<p>UMD is on the DC metro green line. So even though UMD itself is not in the city, everyone I know who goes there lives in DC and commutes up on the green line.</p>
