<p>Would you go to the University of Denver or College of Charleston for Hospitality Administration??? </p>
<p>Which school in general has a better reputation?</p>
<p>I have been accepted here and although I know CofC has a good reputation on the east coast and Denver obviously on the west coast and Midwest, which one Is more highly regarded nationally. For instance what would be better on a resume a CofC graduate or university of Denver???</p>

<p>About the same. Which one is cheaper for you.</p>
<p>Money is not an issue for me or my family, Charleston is cheaper, as it is public. I’m frustrated that I was not accepted to my top choices and my dream schools. Both schools are safety’s but both have my major.</p>
<p>If Denver is ranked #83 in national universities vs. charlestons 11th place regional universities south ranking/ I don’t know which is better- </p>

<p>according to the survey charlestons 11th place and denver is 83th,well charlestons is cheaper then the denver,so according to me charleston is a good option.</p>
<p>^you completely missed the point. Charleston is #11 in regional not national.
I would rather be at udenver</p>
<p>Thanks, anyone else??? So If I told you I went to University of Denver, or the College of Charleston, what would be more impressive???</p>
<p>I don’t think for most people it would make a bit of difference. BUt if you are working in the west, within several states of CO, Denver would have far more name recognition. If you are working in the south, Cof C would. Though Denver is categorized as a national school, its name recognititon,which is what seems to be your focus, is regional.</p>
<p>Thanks… I am still applying to schools: Elon, Tulane, GW, and a few more… but these are my two EA acceptances</p>
<p>Both are excellent schools. You need to look at what is available at each for your major, and also where you would prefer to live. Both wonderful cities, but very different. I think both schools are very underrated. I know kids who went to both, and they seem to be very happy.</p>
<p>I agree with cptofthehouse. I can’t speak to the field of hospitality administration specifically–so I suppose it’s possible one institution really outshines the other among people in the hospitality industry–but neither name really travels nationally the way the name “Yale” or “Stanford” does.</p>
<p>If you think you’re more likely to want to settle and work in the South, then C of C makes more sense; if you think you’re more likely to settle in the mountain West, then Denver makes sense. If you don’t have a geographical preference, then, IMO, the one that cost less after any financial and merit aid is the one that makes more sense. (Because, really, even though you may say, “Money is not an issue for me or my family,” money is always an issue.)</p>
<p>Hmnnn… still leaves me disappointed- I want to be proud of where I am going to college/</p>
<p>So you aren’t sure which one has better name recognition?</p>
<p>Praying for ah acceptance from a deferred school</p>

<p>Well there’s an enormous leap!</p>
<p>The U.S. has scores–hundreds, even–of really good colleges and universities that don’t have a lot of name recognition. In fact, if you’re talking about academic reputation and not big-time sports, there aren’t all that many institutions with names that do get much recognition outside their own regions. That doesn’t mean there’s no reason to be proud of them. </p>

<p>Once you step on to either campus as a student, you will feel the pride. Name recognition is not a sign of quality. Name recognition often means its football team plays on ESPN. Alas, CofC does not have a football team. (Does CofDenver?) Both are located in great cities.</p>
<p>Probably not a big difference to the average citizen. My S looked at both schools and actually visited Charleston. Both are great schools. I would ask each program about their placements…where do their grads end up? I also suspect these programs are reasonably regional in their placements. Instead of worrying about something as touchy feely as prestige, how about considering the specifics of each program, where you want to live when you graduate, and what kind of success students find upon graduation.</p>
<p>I graduated from the University of Idaho, nationally known for its absolutely godawful football team. I’m proud to be a Vandal and I couldn’t care less what someone thinks of its prestige or ranking or anything else. Don’t let someone else’s stereotypes force you down a path that isn’t right for you.</p>
<p>@rhumbob-thanks!!! I appreciate that!! I still have more schools to go, but my school is so competitive they look at me and say, you were deferred from **** and u ONLY got into Denver and Charleston… I am not in love with either… So thats the prob</p>
<p>Have you visited either? They are both in the center of really hot hospitality climates.</p>
<p>denver is actually considered to be the top school out west for hospitality. But, it’s a business major there and is in Daniels, and so you have to get a high GPA in some business classes to actually get into that major.</p>
<p>Good luck to you. I’d love to spend four years in either of those cities, and especially if my focus was hospitality.</p>
<p>Thank you poetgrl </p>

<p>There will always be people smarter than you, wealthier than you, etc, etc. and you just cannot make decisions based on some off-handed comment people might say to you. Now is the time begin to figure out what you want, where you want to live, what you can afford, where you can learn best.</p>
