<p>First, all are excellent options - you really can’t go wrong. Wake is a little larger and I believe the W-S has more to offer than central, rural PA. Villanova does have Philly, of course. I would say they are reasonably on par academically and all have good business programs. I do think that if you care about rankings and look at those - Wake will come out on top. Note the recent ranking in Business Week that Wake was number 1 in academic quality. However, the business school at Wake is known for a very tough, demanding workload.</p>
<p>NJ to Wake is far - but you can fly out of Greensboro. Certainly Bucknell and Villanova are closer and within driving range. Do you want to get away from the cold? It would seem Wake would win out for the weather. Distance from home is a very personal decision. But unless that is a deal breaker for you, I would recommend Wake Forest.</p>
