@kmilano , our DD passed up UCSB,UCSD, and Cal Poly SLO to go to ASU and loves it.

The business school at ASU has a very good reputation, certainly better than UCR’s, and it’s probably the highest ranked department at the school. A number of areas are ranked in the Top 10 according to US News and the whole program is #24 (UCR is #90). We live in SoCal in a beach town so this is something different for my DD.

You would be lucky to get to the beaches in 45 minutes from UCR. More like an hour to 1:15. UCR has never struck me as a place where a lot is happening.

We just visited our daughter at ASU last week. There is a ton of things happening in Tempe and also Phoenix. Sure, it’s hot for August and September, but the rest of the year there is very good weather.

$25K is not a lot of debt. If it were $50K, then I would give it pause.

My vote would be ASU. PM me for any questions.
