<p>I have been accepted to the following so far:
University of Tulsa ($8,000 aid)- Business
University of Arizona (undecided major)
Lake Forest College - Business</p>
<p>I am a international student. I have not visited either of the 3 colleges.
Just viewed rankings on different sites.</p>
<p>Which college would you recommend?</p>

<p>If you are looking for advice about rankings, and money you will make after college, or prestige, you won’t get it from me. I, however, really like the look and feel of Lake Forest College. It is in the more northern part of the US, and I personally like the climate better. It may be very different from where you live and sometimes that is an important issue to consider. Also, you will be outside one of the biggest cities with a LOT of stuff going on. If the city and things to do are important to you, I think Lake Forest would be a good choice. The campus is also very pretty.</p>
<p>Once again, these things may not matter to you at all. You are obviously coming to America for an education. If these colleges are all on the same level academically to you, I would choose one for comfort, beauty, or area. And Lake Forest would be good for that.</p>
<p>That’s 3 very different colleges in terms of size, location, and climate. Lake Forest and U of Tulsa have the highest percentage of foreign students. Lake Forest is going to be a traditional Liberal Arts College, no grad programs, obviously great access to an urban area. Tulsa is going to bigger with more graduate options and more options in business, including accounting. University of Arizona will have just about everything you can think of but you’ll be in with 40,000 other students. I suggest you start looking at the school websites and contacting their career centers to see who recruits on campus and what internships are available. See what activities are available and what gets reported in their campus newspaper. Once you figure out what’s important, I think the decision would be easy because they are all so different. Good luck and congratulations!</p>
<p>If money is an issue, run the figures here:

<p>Don’t forget to take into account any differences in transportation costs, and cost of winter wardrobe.</p>
<p>Ask around in your own country, and find out if there is a difference in how employers there view these three institutions. Since you can’t count on getting a job here after you graduate, you need to be sure that you can get one once you go home.</p>
