What is Better for Biz Major: A School in a City or Higher Rank School in Small Town

College Search & Selection

<p>I am going to be a freshman in college next school year and will be going to St. John's University in Queens, NY. (Major is finance, minor journalism). I got a lot of money off from this school so it's an option</p>

<p>However, I also got into UCONN (in-state) and not sure what to do. UCONN is rank 58 whereas STJ is 158. UCONN is a better school, but STJ puts me on the map in NYC and will help me get some more internships. </p>

<p>Is this the right notion, a school in a city is better?</p>

<p>Go to St. John’s. It’s at least in the city and not in some place like Storrs, CT (which is an absolute ***** hole, sorry to be blunt).</p>

<p>HAHA I know lol, any other thoughts?</p>

<p>Go with the cheaper St. Johns. UConn is not some brand that will catapult you into the business world.</p>

<p>Neither is SJU for that matter. Uconn has a more complete college experience.</p>

<p>What do u mean by that?</p>

<p>Read previous post and just follow along.</p>

<p>“Neither is SJU for that matter. Uconn has a more complete college experience.”</p>

<p>I don’t think that was the point he was trying to make. But whatever.</p>

<p>He was saying UConn does not have much brand name value in NYC and I said neither does SJU. But Uconn does offer a better overall residential college experience versus SJU commuter school life can be valuable to many. You only go to undergrad once. </p>
