where to go?

<p>hello,
i have been accepted to the following schools:
Miami University - Oxford
DePaul University
Indiana University - Bloomington
Loyola University of Chicago
University of Illinois - Chicago
i was waitlisted at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
I am having trouble making a decision. I want to study either business or economics. I think i have eliminated Loyola and UIC from the list because i have no interest in either school. I honestly want to stay in chicago; i love the city and i love depauls campus. However, my mom is really pushing me to go to either Indiana or Miami. I know both of these are much better academically compared to Depaul. Yet, I am having trouble deciding. I dont think i would be happy outside of chicago. I prefer being close to home. I still have to visit both indiana and miami so maybe that will help me decide. But in the meantime, does anyone have any thoughts on what i should do?</p>

<p>Also, i forgot to add that i really want to transfer to either Northwestern or UChicago after a year or two. Should that affect my decision of where i should go for my freshman year?
thanks in advance....</p>

<p>as far as i know, those are all really good universities. The only one I really know anything about is Indiana-- my mom went there and loved it. People tend to like it a lot, and it's a good university, so you might want to think about that one. As far as I know, the university you attend freshman year shouldnt have a huge effect on your transfer. And northwestern is a good school-- im actually choosing between Northwestern and Tufts, so any advice would be helpful.</p>

<p>Depaul is fine--if you stay in Chicago for work. Otherwise Indiana.</p>

<p>Indiana because it has the best academics and the best environment. But if you feel that you would be unhappy outside of Chicago, go for DePaul.</p>
