Going back to your original post – Rhodes has a business major, Conn Coll does not. Conn Coll is on the “northeast corridor” so accessible to major metro areas such as Boston, NY and DC, though it is about 2+ hours from both NY and Boston by train. Memphis is the headquarters for FedEx, and we know Rhodes kids who have gotten excellent internships during the summers. From our Rhodes friends, we understand that there are parts of Memphis a student should be careful in, but it really is just standard city-smarts and the college is very vocal about educating students about safety when they hit the bars off campus etc. Campus itself is a gorgeous Gothic enclosed campus, separate from the surrounding area. Of course, Conn Coll is also a separate campus from the surrounding area, also lovely.

Another thing to consider, at UW, a student has to be admitted to the College of Business, and a student wanting to double major in both business and sociology is getting a double degree, not just a double major, from the College of Business and the College of Letters & Science, which means meeting the requirements for two different programs. I’m a huge fan of UW – the academics are superb and the student life unbelievable. At the same time, a student contemplating a double degree should investigate the requirements.
