<p>I am French and I have to spend 6 month of my student carreer abroad! </p>
<p>I would like you to make me a a your ranking of those 5 university?!</p>
<p>Best regards.</p>
<p>-Babson College, Babson Park, Massachusetts
-Boston College, Carroll School of Management, Massachusetts
-Brandeis University, Graduate School of Economics & Finance, Massachusetts
-Emory University, Roberto C. GoizuetaBusiness School, Georgia
-WhasingtonUniversity in St. Louis, John M. Olin School of Business , Missouri</p>
<p>Those are all good schools - Babson is specifically a business school, so it’s not in the same rankings as the other schools, but it certainly does have a good reputation if you’re studying business. A degree from any of the schools you listed will be very well-respected, as will a study abroad program to them.</p>
<p>They are all pretty good schools. Since you’re from France, I would add location and college experience into the criteria. With that my advice for an international would be:</p>
<p>Boston College: great campus in great city. Good student body from all over US.
Wash U: best school on list in my opinion, nice campus, location is downside.
Emory: Good school in OK city.
Brandeis: good school, great city, large Jewish population colors social life.
Babson: OK school, good location, no one ever heard of it even in US.</p>
<p>You should go to Boston College. It is excellent and will give you easy access to great American cities like Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington DC.</p>
<p>First, good luck to you and we hope you enjoy your time in the US!</p>
<p>Boston is a fabulous city and of the cities represented, I think you would enjoy it the most. I would put Boston College ahead of Brandeis and Babson in that regard.<br>
Brandeis is not located in the city, but in a suburb. It is heavily Jewish, which is neither good nor bad, but just something to keep in mind culturally. Babson College would be a fun experience, though it has less prestige in the US.</p>
<p>Between Emory and Wash U, I think it’s equal. Both are prestigious and both cities are nice.</p>
<p>I find the references to Brandeis a “heavily Jewish” that “colors social life” very interesting in light of the fact that a couple of you are recommending Boston College which is Jesuit Catholic university that is predominantly Catholic and known more for athletics than academics. In contrast, Brandeis is a non-sectarian, intellectually and artistically vibrant environment with an international student body and world-class faculty. It’s funding and support by the American Jewish community undoubtedly has helped its meteoric rise into the upper echelons of American universities, yet its undergraduate student body of late is less than half Jewish. Its “International Business School” is decidely international in its academic focus and student body (> 50% international). FYI Brandeis has no undergraduate business school or major.</p>
<p>B77, I’m Jewish. It is not any prejudice against Brandeis whatsoever. I just find that Brandeis has more of a Jewish culture than Boston College does a Catholic culture. And that is just something to consider for the OP. I was unaware that Brandeis’ International Business School is > 50% international.</p>
