UMD vs Villanova for Business/Finance?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Maryland - College Park

<p>Hi, I have option of going to either Villanova or U Maryland-College Park for business. My scholarship/aid packages make the cost of attending either one about the same. </p>

<p>I'm leaning towards a finance major and I'm trying to figure out if one would be better than the other for this. The Business Week ranks show Nova higher (Nova = 13, UMD = 38) but US News has Maryland higher for business/finance. (UMD = 20, Nova = 69) and lists UMD as #18 for finance and Nova isn't even listed for the category. </p>

<p>What are the advantages and best attributes of the Smith Business/Finance program?</p>

<p>Where would you go?</p>

<p>Most people on this thread would most likely recommend that UMD is the better choice for finance/business. Visit both and decide…UMD is a much more diverse campus, and I’m partial to the opportunities that a large public university can offer due to its size.</p>
