<p>I have been accepted by these four and have a hard time to decide. I am in Texas, A&M is very affordable. Other 3 all gave me scholarship but would still be a few K more, not really a big deal. By the way, I was accepted to business schools by all 4. </p>
<p>Any input is highly appreciated</p>
<p>Have you visited and/or talked to current students? The prevailing culture at each of these schools seems to be very different.</p>
<p>Don’t know about A & M or Bentley, but Miami of Ohio is noted for being white preppie and it’s in a very small college town. But a pretty campus!</p>
<p>From Miami’s web site:
</p>
<p>Case Western is in a large city and is quite diverse. For example, of the 5 kids in my son’s HS who went to Case this year, only one is WASP! Others are Chinese, Indian, Jewish, & mixed. It’s a great student body, IMO.</p>
<p>buckhorn, since you are from TX, I’ll leave A&M out of this, other than to say I don’t recall the business program appearing in the top 50 lists.</p>
<p>Case is far more academically focused than Bentley and MiamiU IMO.</p>
<p>I will agree with what WS17 said about Case, and mention that Miami is noted, both on campus and by the townspeople, for a drinking “problem” as there seems to be little else to do there. Just the other day, sadly, a girl was run over by a train at night. Her BAC was well above legal and she was underage. We see other stories in the paper often–not deaths but problems where the police have to be called in.</p>
<p>Not saying all the students drink but that seems to be a large part of the culture.</p>
<p>I think a lot of Ohio students at Case chose between MiamiU and Case.</p>
<p>Miami has a beautiful campus with colonial architecture and amazing landscaping. But it is remotely located in a small town. Our lasting memory from visiting there is seeing the long rows of beer cans and beer bottles lined up on the frat house porches.</p>
<p>I think the academic profile of the Miami student body is higher than Bentley’s.</p>
<p>I don’t know about A&M or Bently, but I am partial to Miami. Overall the students seem happier and less tightly-wound than Case, while still maintaining solid academics. I also preferred the college town feel to the place over the Case’s setting. Of course, that’s just my very random impression, and probably not worth much.</p>
