<p>Hey i just got accepted at this three and i wanted to know pros and cons, i know uva is ranked better academically but i want to consider everything, from social life to job opportunities....I would really appreciate your opinion.
Note: Im majoring in business, finance or accounting</p>
<p>What about costs BEFORE loans?</p>
<p>i have a college found so money is not really the biggest issue right now, i just wanna more about life in the 3 of these</p>
<p>This is an extremely broad question, and perhaps might be better answered if you had more specific interests?</p>
<p>UVa has the best-ranked business school out of the three but Penn State also has a well-reputed business school. UVa and PSU are honestly only about 13 places apart in the U.S. News rankings. That may seem like a lot, Your job opportunities from the three schools aren’t likely to be very different. Ohio State and Penn State have humongous alumni networks that extend across the country and probably across the globe in some cases/industries. Social life at Ohio State and Penn State are likely to be pretty similar - they are both campuses with around 44,000 students with big Division I sports, hundreds of student organizations (PSU has 839 and Ohio State has nearly 1,000), Greek life, etc. Ohio State does have the difference of being located in a large city with nearly 3 million residents in the metro area. Penn State is in a small town where life fairly revolves around the student population.</p>
<p>UVa, of course, is a far smaller school - 14,000 undergraduates. Charlottesville is also a small historic college town. UVa has division I sports too but not quite as big and popular as PSU and OSU’s. UVa’s historicity also contributes to a number of quirky historic traditions among students - although of course there are traditions at PSU and OSU too, it’s just that UVa’s students are kind of known for their tradition.</p>
<p>Honestly, they’re three fantastic public universities and you can’t really go wrong here. I guess it’s just about whether you want to attend a very large one in a large city, a very large one in a small college town, or a medium-sized one in a small historic college town.</p>
