<p>The differences in the St. Thomas campus vs the Drake campus alone would have me picking St. Thomas over Drake :). As for the price comparisons, St. Thomas for practically free is a much better “steal” than Drake for $13K. </p>
<p>Just a quick search of some notable alum from St. Thomas:</p>
<p>Michael J. Hoffman - CEO, The Toro Company
Timothy Flynn - Chairman, KPMG International
Jim Oberstar - Former U.S. Congressman
Gerald Rauenhorst - Founding chairman, Opus Corp.
Patrick J. Ryan - Chief of Chaplains of the U.S. Army
John Schneider - General manager of the Seattle Seahawks
Will Steger - Polar explorer</p>
<p>Keep in mind that St. Thomas also participates in the curriculum exchange in the St. Paul/Minneapolis schools so various course work could be taken at about 8 or so other schools including the University of Minnesota and Macalester. </p>
<p>Just trying to say that St. Thomas is a very well respected school in the midwest and graduates from St. Thomas are very sought after in the major companies around the area, a few you might recognize, Best Buy, 3M, Medtronic, Carlson Companies, Toro, Cargill, etc. Even if she only works in the area for a couple years, having any of these companies on your resume will have international recognition.</p>
