hey guys, so i am down to choosing between two schools - let me just tell you what i want to do with my college experience and what i want to do after undergrad. my plan is during these four years to study a lot of stuff, but keep my focus on the social sciences (ie poli sci, econ, IR, etc but mainly econ) and also keep my focus on business / finance stuff. then i really want to go to a top graduate school, either in business or in law (depending on what i end up choosing). but yeah

so now — which one of these two seems better?? im posting on the boston college group so im clearly leaning towards BC and i pretty much had my heart set. but then i started looking into feeder schools for top graduate programs, and i was michigan was #30 as opposed to BC’s #79

plus - michigan offers a wider range of courses and also has ross business school which would be AMAZING for a business / finance background. my problem with michigan though, is the size - like, i LOVE ann arbor, but i want a more traditional college experience (in BC, its like 8000 undergrads in a small-ish campus)

so yeah…im lost. would it be better for me to go to michigan in terms of my future? or is BC just as good?
