Hi! I really need some help deciding on school next year…

I was accpeted into the School of Management at Binghamton as well as Penn State’s Smeal School of Business and I plan on majoring in finance. Penn State will cost me about $38,000 while Binghamton will cost about $29,000.

Money is a little bit of a factor here, so I’m wondering if it will be worth spending more to go to Penn State.

I know Penn State’s undergrad business school is better (ranked 22 in the nation), whereas Binghamton’s is 57. Also I know that Penn state is #1 for recruiting, and the alumni connections are crazy. However, I feel like Binghamton is very highly respected in NYC which is where I plan on working after college.

The most important thing for me is getting a good internship at a well respected financial firm (ex. Goldman Sachs, Merril Lynch, etc.)

What are your thoughts?
THANKSSS
