Boston U has an excellent undergraduate business program (18th in the nation according to Businessweek for what that’s worth). Leeds is not well represented in Businessweek though this could be, in part, because of its distance from Wall Street and major business headquarters though this is mostly my own speculation. However, Leeds does very well with connections in Colorado.

I am in an almost identical situation. I am torn between Leeds and Villanova School of Business (similar to BU in that it is also top twenty in Businessweek). Again, for what it’s worth, my decision will to come down to value. How much do I want to live in Philadelphia (or elsewhere for that matter)? Is the ranking worth the inevitable price difference between instate at Leeds to VSB? I was talking to a man who has dealt with undergraduate business rankings before with his son and he commented that Leeds is an excellent fallback. I have not made a decision yet and would be very interested to hear if you learn anything concerning Leeds or undergraduate business schools in general.
