<p>Hi Guys!
I would be very pleased if anyone could help me with these decision!
I am an international and I applied for transfer 2012, I am studying in Brazil,almost finishing my BSC in Accounting and I was accepted as a transfer for Indiana University(pre-business),University of Texas(economics),University of Minnesota(economics).
I know that from the three options,UTexas is considered more prestigious and highly-ranked, however I do plan to come back to Brazil after I finished my studies and UTexas by far is 32k for tuition(on the other hand UMN is 16k for tuition).
My family said to enroll at UMN for the lower tuition(I think I can afford UTexas too), but I kind of in love with UTexas campus,prestige...
Summarizing, do you think that UTexas higher prestige is more important that the low tuition ?</p>
<p>To me it is more important, but pay attention to everything (the city, the life, etc). They give need based scholarships and you should be able to get a job.</p>
<p>Thank you for the reply @kiddo64 but do you think there is a high difference between UMN and UTexas,at least for economics? I would prefer to live at Austin( the cmapus, the city…),however I am an international so it is hard to get a scholarship and I was an intern of a big bank and now I at Unilever,so I do not pretend to work at my american university. If I want to work in USA:the difference between UMN and UTexas is huge? (I pretend to go back to Brazil,so maybe the difference is minimalist in terms of career ,but it is good to know what could happen if I change my mind)</p>
