<p>BYU is so inexpensive and so well-known, I would take BYU. I might not say this with regard to other private schools.</p>
<p>BYU ranked #8 on Business Week’s best business schools list and is quite cheap (being in Provo, Utah). However, you do need to realize that it is vey secretarian based (religious, that is)–and that 92% or so of the students that go there are Mormon.</p>
<p>No problem as long as you realize that, but if you think you will have trouble fitting in, then I would suggest KU (Kansas University) as an alternative.</p>
<p>so FREE lesser known schooling is not as good as cheap decent schools?</p>
<p>CMoss, if we are talking about a few thousand difference per year, the better known school is the better way to go IF it is much better known and much better in your desired majors. BYU is NOT just a decent school. It is considered a very good, well-known school. Maybe it doesn’t have the cache of an ivy or top LAC,but it is well-known and has a number of very highly ranked programs.</p>
