Can you please help me narrowing this list?

Marquette University
Bryant University
University of Alabama
Chapman University
Lake Forest College
University of Denver
Ohio Wesleyan University

Which two or three of these universities are best in business (international business, entrepreneurship or management), have the normal setting, and accept internationals?
Also it will be great if you rank these institutions. Like first place second place and etc.

Thank you!

There's a marked contrast between two of your schools, Marquette and Lake Forest College. Marquette is in Milwaukee, a middle class city with a fair amount of cultural diversity. It's a fun place to go to school (alcohol is widely available.) Lake Forest is in a distant suburb (35 miles away) of Chicago, and is one of the richest towns in the US. There is a culture of wealth there that you won't believe - lots of very expensive cars, clothes, etc. The college is sort of isolated because of it - the town doesn't tolerate bad behavior, there are no bars or hangouts, and it seems very confining. The setting is beautiful, though.

I think in terms of management and all things international, Ohio Wesleyan University is perhaps the best. The focus of the economics department is on business economics and management and not as much theory. The university has a fairly well-run center on Business and Strategy. The international studies department is pretty strong. Jeffrey Sachs was just there for a speaking commitment, which is fairly unusual for a small liberal arts school. The university is also among liberal arts schools with the highest % of international students primarily due to its generoity in merit aid to that group.

I think among the schools that you list, OWU has the best academic reputation with Lake Forest, arguably, being the next one.

thanks! what about Butler?

I saw you have Lake Forest on your list... do you know anything about it? I just started looking there and am going to be visiting in a couple weeks. what's your opinion of it?

I’m international student so I was not able to visit the campus. Actually I made the research and this school fits my requirements. I know that it has good business program, it is included in Princeton’s review ranking “Students Happy with Financial Aid”, nice campus, quite prestigious LAC (in business, I don’t know about other majors) you can take “Midwesterner”-s post into consideration

Here is how they describe their College

“LAKE Forest College is situated just 3 blocks from Lake Michigan in the beautiful, quiet, and safe community of Lake Forest, Illinois. The College is located just 30 miles north of one of the world's most exciting cities, Chicago. We have strong ties to the city of Chicago for internships and job placement after graduation. On campus we boast a phenomenal faculty who care deeply for their students. Please visit our web site at www.lakeforest.edu to gain a better understanding of the benefits of a Lake Forest College education.”

My mom went to Ohio Wesleyan 20 years ago and hated it. When starting my college search I first asked my parents where they went and how they liked it and my mom just said I was too got for OW and that it was a bad expereince for her. My mom was an international too and got a full scholarship, so if that is just as important (if not more so) than fit and prestige, try OW. Also, she went on to Ohio State (did not like it too much either) for a Master's so you can move up from a not so well known undergrad school.

Actually money is not very important for me, thank you for the advice, I will double-check this university, but still I think that 20 years is a long period, so things might have changed. Thanks again!
