Don't Know Where to GO!!

Hi I am new...Not going to lie I wish I came here sooner but can you guys/gals help me out...

I need help on figuring out which college is best...I want to major in business, but my brother (goes to Wharton at Penn) and many other people tell me that liberal arts is best first then grad school. Which should I do liberal arts or business school?

Also out of these colleges which one is the best or most up and coming?

Franklin and Marshall-coach loves me+ its has decent rep--not sure about business program though

Providence-up and coming---not sure about business--good place for internships

Loyola Maryland-love campus-business program (sellinger - not sure how good it is) also not sure of rep

Fairfield- safety+ coach loves me

Ursinus-safety+nice campus

Hobart and William Smith-coach loves me..also hear of respect on Wall Street

The College of New Jersey-good price and also good rep

Muhlenburg College--to art oriented...its alright



Which one???!! its killing me...my best chance for FM is ED so yeah...kinda rushed..

Also I turned down many Ivy League offers...from what my brother says I would hate it plus I like to go out and party...but I also work very hard (i am a good student)

SO help me College Confidential Forum...which one is the best? (rep wise-academic-business-up and coming)

Thanks,

Justin

I agree with your brother - liberal arts for undergrad, business for grad.

All the schools on your list are fine. From down here in the South, the ones on your list that I know best are F&M, Ursinus, Fairfield, and H&WS.

what are your opinions on Hobart...my friend says that it has a great economic program and wall street placement...is this true? Also between Loyola Business/Liberal arts or Franklin and Marshall which one is more recognized/better?
