Neither.
Do Villanova for business. |

| I don't think there is a clear choice. He should go to whichever he likes better. That said, I grew up in PA and some of the most unlikeable kids from my high school went to Bucknell. I have a negative perception of it that persists, reinforced by stuff like the anti-LGBT incident a few years ago, and I don't think I'm alone in that. |

| pp who mentioned trinity is spot on - it is a great comp to Bucknell - considered bottom of Nescac in terms of reputation but places top of Nescac in finance. Trinity and Bucknell folks all over the street and both will provide real opportunities if u work alumni network and grind - more so than tulane, villanova, or even BC (although BC alumni network much better than other 2). Villanova was a direct comp to Fordham, Jay Wright made it better and a clear winner when comparing cross admits |

| Bucknell. My brother went there in the 90’s and is working on Wall Street. Campus is beautiful and safe. Nola is so scary right now , I could never send my kid there. Tulane is very Jewish and Bucknell very Waspy. Totally opposite schools. |

| Aren't you admitted directly to Bucknell's business program but need to apply to Tulane's once you are already admitted to the University? That might matter. |

I would have said exact opposite and no skin in game. Unless kid is huge partier when New Orleans would be desirable. |

| Tulane is a joke of a school. Nobody takes their alum seriously. |
