<p>I have a brother who is deciding whether to apply to Colgate or UVA E/D next year. He is a bit of a prestige whore, so a) which one is more prestigious and b) which will provide a better overall undergrad education? He is going to major in economics. He is from New York and money is not an issue.</p>
<p>I think that UVA definitely gets the name recognition but in terms of economics, I think they both provide a great education.</p>
<p>UVa is killer hard to get into out of state. I mean, really.</p>
