I forgot age and intelligence were directly correlated, sorry, I’ll go back to my sheltered world and insular high school life now.

On a serious note, I reiterate what I said earlier. While your undergrad school in Vienna will matter, the consideration given to where you spend just one semester in grad school admissions will be so negligible that you should choose based on where you think you would most like to live for a semester.

Austin, Chapel Hill, Madison, and Ann Arbor are all quintessential college towns and good places to ‘experience’ America. Vancouver, obviously, is much too large to be a college town, but is extremely pleasant and clean nonetheless, and has beautiful surroundings to boot. Columbus is an okay city, and I don’t know much about Urbana.

If, however, all you care about is business school ranking, Michigan’s business school is the most renown of all of these, followed by UNC and UT Austin.
