Grow up little school girl. Your background is relevant to being able to ACCURATELY answer the question. Oh, nice use of an ad homonym attack to spin attention away from the fact that you are opining based on NOTHING! By the way, that quote that you so cleverly blew out of the water was not mine, it came from wickopedia. You should write them with your comments, as I am sure that you are well qualified to be an editor for them. After all, you are a college student.



What’s your deal? You come asking for opinions but really you don’t want that at all. You’re wanting someone to tell you that going to Florida will be a great decision and your line of thinking is correct but it’s not. And then when people give opinions that state ideas different from yours you choose to lash out at them.

Florida is ranked 41 by USNews. Cornell’s what, 16? NYU 13. SMU is closely ranked but like everyone’s said throughout this thread, those schools are tied very close to their region. The numbers speak for themself. If I had a choice between 41 or #16 or 13 I surely would not go with 41. My perspective is that an MBA should be able to provide you with the best mobility for your career and give you the opportunity to move somewhere far from where you are and get a totally different job, do you think UF will let you do this? I sure don’t. You might be able to do this on your own but it’s going to be because of your own doing and your ability to convey that to whatever employer is willing to listen to you (and who knows who this is going to be since you’re going to a school that will be recruited mainly for that sole region, I doubt you’ll have venture firms from CA or HFs and PE firms from CT and NY at your school attempting to recruit you) you’d at least be better off with a school that’s in a location with a better focus for business, not Florida.

But again, if you want to work around Florida go ahead. If you want to take a big gamble and see how hard you can work with networking with the Florida people give it a try. But I’d rather head over to NY and focus on expanding my options without having to work too hard to make them a reality.
