I’d focus on the differences between the two schools. They are both good choices and it really depends on where you want to be the next four years. IMO two reasonable people could have two different answers. Pick what is right for you. Here are some differences I would take into account in making a choice:
- Affordability – is the scholarship to Bentley meaningful? Will it take financial stress off your family? Do you need to keep a certain GPA to keep the scholarship?
- Size – Mid size university v large University
- Location/Campus - Urban location/no distinct campus v suburban location with traditional campus.
- Diversity of majors - Business focused college v well rounded college (are you 100% sure you want to study business and be around students who also are studying business)
- I think they are both good academically but Bentley may more of regional reputation (not quite as well known nationally) since it is a smaller school.
