Hi I was accepted to both UCSD and Babson, which school should I attend for econ?

2

Net price at each? Debt at each?

Do you want to attend a general university, or a small business school?

3

I think for UCSD I’ll be paying around $10k and for Babson around $30k.
I’m just wondering which school would benefit me in the long-run, because I’m fine with either school.

4

Would the extra $20k per year ($80k total) at Babson have to be borrowed?

5

My parents are willing to pay for it, so no?

UCSD offers an economics department with accomplished faculty:

Does Babson offer an economics major?

Babson has a sub-concentration of economics within the business major that all students study.

Of course, that goes back to the question, does the OP want to study economics within the usual liberal arts context at a large general university, or study economics in the context of a business major at a small exclusively-business school?
