Ultimately (IMHO) both Iowa & Minnesota have good overall reputations and if you can see yourself at either one, pick the one that will cause you the least debt.

What is hot today might not be tomorrow(or in coming years). Look at your program at each school, visit if you haven’t already, and YOU decide if an extra $7K a year is worth it - to YOU. No one here can tell you that.

The CLA, for info sake, is the largest (therefore most popular perhaps???) school at UMN. After having attended the CLA open house this past weekend with my D, as a business person I am impressed with the CLA. Remember not all businesses hire people from “business school.” Some employers (more & more) prefer a more well-rounded educated person who is articulate and presents well. Still, Carlson is very impressive too. Both CLA & Carlson diplomas will read “UMN” at the top.
