Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Rochester

<p>I am considering the economics program at UR while also being in the REBS program against Bentley and their honors program. Bentley has great facilities including a trading room as well as a strong business focus. Bentley also has an investment group that manages part of the college's endowment, is any such opportunity available at UR?</p>

<p>However, UR has a great econ. program, a terrific graduate school of business, and an open curriculum. I am weighing the financial components as well and am going under the assumption that both will have a comparable cost.</p>

<p>All input is appreciated.</p>

<p>I read this and went what? The schools aren’t really comparable. Bentley is really a business school, while UR is a genuine university. Bentley certainly offers a few specialty things - because they’re a business school - but if you think those outweigh what a real university offers across the breadth of experience then go to Bentley. </p>

<p>I’ve noted elsewhere that Bentley is not that well known in Boston, where I live. Babson is well known, even among the non-business crowd, but Bentley gets little mind share. </p>

<p>I don’t consider the schools more than remotely comparable.</p>
