University of Virginia vs Canegie Mellon University

<p>Those 2 are my top choices but I can't decide which one to go to. I'm planning to major in economics. Help me choose :) Any help is appreciated!</p>

<p>So UVA has like the #2 business school pretty easy choice.</p>

<p>Someone majoring in economics may not be in the business school or be doing anything necessarily within the business school. </p>

<p>Carnegie Mellon (Tepper) comes in at #19 for economics, UVa comes in at #28. </p>

<p>And, for clarification, UVa has the #5 undergraduate business school, whereas Carnegie has the #9.</p>

<p>Academically, there doesn’t seem to be much, if any, difference between the two. </p>

<p>It should come down to personal preferences. E.g. do you prefer Mellon’s campus or UVa’s?</p>

<p>Yes, at UVa the economics major is not inside the Commerce School.</p>

<p>CMU probably would have smaller classes, while UVa would offer a more well-rounded college experience including socializing, activities, sports, etc.</p>
