<p>I am am a senior living in New Jersey and would love to major in business. However, I do not know which part of business I want to major in yet. I got into both Kelley and McCombs Business School, but I am undecided in where I want to go. I have received $5,000 a year scholarship from Kelley and none from UT. Which university should I go to?</p>
<p>that's pretty tough. If cost is no concern, then I'd let it fall as to which college you feel more at home at. They're two very different cities. good problem to have though :)</p>
<p>I got into Kelley but haven't heard back from McComb's yet... I am in-state so Indiana is a little too unaffordable for me, but I think that both are great schools</p>
<p>If cost is an issue, I say go to the cheaper school. I know Texas in general has low tuition even for out-of-state. Don't forget to add in the room and board cost. Compare the school's overall cost, not just the tuition. They might be closer than you think. Also, look at the in-state cost. Because you'll probably qualify for in-state after your first year, so cheaper in-state may work out better in the long run.</p>
<p>If cost isn't that big of a deal, I'd say look at the social aspect. My option is that Austin has more to offer than Bloomington. Plus, treking through snow to get to class isn't my cup of tea. If it snows in Texas, class will be canceled. </p>
<p>Also, look at where you want to work after you graduate, Texas or the midwest. Both are somewhat of a regional school, so it's more likely that you'll end up with a job close to where you went to school.</p>
<p>I would not consider this as a cost, but more of an investment. Tuition at McCombs will run you about 30k per year, plus approx 7-9k for room/board. It's not cheap, but McCombs has amazing resources for you to secure a job after graduation.</p>
<p>I'm a Finance major at McCombs so I guess I'll let you know pros and cons.</p>
<p>Pros:
*Good career services - it seems like every week there's either a networking event or a workshop on how to interview, write a resume, etc.</p>
<p>*Big school - McCombs has just over 6,000 students so you get a lot of good networking done while going to school. When you graduate from here, you'll have made a lot of connections with people who can likely help you find a job in the future</p>
<p>*Good all-around b-school - MIS, finance, and especially accounting department at UT are fairly strong with good professors. If you're still undecided on what major in business, you can take your pick at McCombs and still get good teachers.</p>
<p>*Emphasis on teamwork - I've worked on group projects on average at least once a semester, and I think it's great experience for the future. Additionally, there are several case competitions each semester if you really want to improve ability to work in teams</p>
<p>*Responsive administration - I worked with a committee to make free printing available for b-school students and in a years time, the IT department is already in the beta testing stage with students printing for free. If you have ideas for making things better, the administration here lends a receptive ear.</p>
<p>Cons:</p>
<p>*High student-to-teacher ratio - big classes can make sometimes make it difficult to facilitate discussion-based learning </p>
<p>*Not enough case-based teaching - b/c of the big class size, we don't study cases as often as I think we should.</p>
<p>Overall, McCombs is a great school that is held back by its high student-to-teacher ratio</p>
<p>McCombs, HANDS DOWN!</p>
<p>i'm a student at cornell ILR school so i'm just visiting here b/c i'm from texas. </p>
<p>i always hear that mccombs is best for accounting...</p>
<p>dont have a clue about the other school. i think you should visit both campuses. shadow students. this will all help.</p>
