<p>I got accepted at GMU, JMU and northeastern for their business program, i want to major in finance with minor in eco or mathematics. I am an international student, so tuition cost is a factor in deciding. I have my relatives living in MD Baltimore, so studying at GMU would allow me to stay at their place, which would eliminate my living/food costs. But i am not too sure about their business program.
Northeastern has a great business program (ranked 25 by bloomberg) and so does of JMU (ranked 29), whereas GMU is not in the first 100 rankings.
Secondly i would want to know about the job and internship opportunities i can avail here.
Is there anyone here on this forum to guide me and let me more about my choices and suggest me?
i would really appreciate your help.</p>
<p>If you are an international student, consider the diversity at George Mason–lots of international students go there, whereas James Madison is less diverse. As for their programs, sometimes the rankings aren’t always accurate. I don’t know much about their programs but JMU is know for its College of Business. I am in the same boat actually, and have asked a similar question about CIS/College of Business.</p>
<p>Hey there, Baltimore is still pretty far from Mason, it would take at least an hour to commute by car. However, the job and internship opportunities will be better at GMU than JMU due to location, and Northeastern is expensive unless they gave you a scholarship. Good luck, I’m sure you can have a great experience and get a good education at any of those colleges. </p>
