I really need help!
I’m an international student wanting to study entrepreneurship that has to decide between theese five great universities! Each one has their pros and cons and I would like to listen to some opinions before I make this difficult decision. Personal experiences, rumours…
I’m not living in the US and I can’t visit them because of the distance so please please help me 
( University of Michigan, Northeastern University, George Washington University, Loyola Marymount University, Syracuse University)
Facts about me : I’m creative and proactive, I’m wanting to succeed and make a change, my two favorite sports are golf and ski and I would love to keep doing them, I’m not into partying all day like hollywood films show it like (I know it’s not all real) but I can go partying no problem.
Thank you very much in advance !! 
Michigan is the strongest academically of the schools you’ve mentioned. It’s offering are vast; perfect for someone who is creative and proactive!
I don’t see how this is a hard decision, unless there are cost implications you are neglecting you share with us. Michigan is the strongest university is this group by a wide margin.
But @Alexandre and @rjkofnovi , northeastern university is the number 4 or 5 in the entrepreneurship rankings while Umich is in a lower position (between 10 and 15)
Confusedpotato, what ranking are you referring to? Some rankings I have seen, like the US News, have Michigan ranked higher than NEU in Entrepreneurship. And do you really place that much weight on sub-departmental rankings? South Carolina is ranked higher than Penn in International Business. Would you choose South Carolina over Penn if you wanted to major in International Business? Minnesota is ranked higher than Caltech in Chemical Engineering. Would you choose Minnesota over Caltech if you wanted to major in Chemical Engineering?
How about programs rankings? Which of those universities have the best Business schools? And how about overall institutional quality. Which of your four universities is the best one overall?
Thank you very much @Alexandre ! Where did or are you studying and which program?
I went to college in the early-mid 1990s! 
I studied Economics at the University of Michigan. All of your universities are very good, but Michigan is the strongest of the five options.
Were you admitted to the business school in UMich? If so, that would be the most prestigious out of all the ones you listed. Northeastern U is in Boston, which is a major city, and within easy access to other major cities on the East Coast. UMich is in a nice university town . It’s in the midwestern part of the US and not as near the major metropolitan areas (not counting Detroit- but no one counts Detroit…).
mathprof, I am not sure I agree with your assessment of the Ann Arbor area. First of all, while Detroit is far from being a glamorous city, it remains, nevertheless, one of America’s most significant cities. The Detroit Metropolitan area has one of the best connected airports in the US and Michigan is home to 20 Fortune 500 companies (9th most among all US states, and almost twice as many as Massachusetts). Furthermore, Chicago is not that far from Ann Arbor either (240 miles, which is the same distance as Boston to New York).
University of Michigan is really good!!
“It’s in the midwestern part of the US and not as near the major metropolitan areas (not counting Detroit- but no one counts Detroit…).”
Thanks for disparaging an entire region…
How much will each cost?
The best universities would be UMich, NEU, SU.
Well, there are other factors besides academic strength the OP might be interested in: there’s the urban character of Northeastern and George Washington; the social atmosphere of Syracuse, and the location and warmer weather of Loyola Marymount. Everything doesn’t just boil down to who’s ranked higher.
Also, any sub-departmental rankings (or really, departmental rankings) we’re talking about are probably at the graduate level, which are not perfectly overlapping with the undergrad level.
Michigan is in a small college town - yes, Ann Arbor is a really nice college town, and Detroit is a great city. But Los Angeles, DC, and Boston are all bigger and more significant cities than DC, and the schools in question (LMU, GWU, and NEU) are actually in those cities, not just near them. Ann Arbor is about 45 minutes from Detroit by car and it looks kind of difficult to reach Detroit via public transit, although you could probably take a Greyhound or a Megabus. Besides, everyone always talks about how close other cities are (including myself) but I wonder how often the average college student actually does make an hour-long trip into a “nearby” city when they attend college somewhere, much less a 4-hour trip. I’d wager the average student spends the vast majority of their weekends in the immediate vicinity of campus or the city their college is located in.
So, OP, does that make a difference to you? Some people really want to go to college in a small college town, and Ann Arbor is one of the best. But some students really want an urban experience.
juillet, so you would recommend Loyola Marymount or GWU over Michigan? Would you recommend LMU over Duke? Or GWU over Dartmouth? Northeastern over Cornell? etc…
I definitely see the benefit of choosing the right fit, but that’s assuming the options are equivalent. I don’t think that’s the case here. Besides, Ann Arbor is large enough to keep students, even those who prefer a more urban setting, occupied. For the amenities exclusive to large cities, such as large museums, skyscrapers, mega-clubs, world class restaurants, music concerts etc…, one can always get away for the weekend.
Ann Arbor has world class concerts with $10-$15 student tickets and excellent restaurants priced for students. The acoustics at Hill auditorium are among the best in the world. (Google University Musical Society and the Ark to start.) There is a train to Chicago (RT is about $60-80) and lots of student use it for weekend getaway. The musical theater program at Michigan is the best in the country and the productions you will see are almost as good as Broadway. There is so much to do you will barely have time for classes.
“Michigan is in a small college town…”
Ann Arbor is not a small town at all…
