+1 UGA is superior in football too.

I’d pick any of these three over Florida. Florida requires business students to take some courses online.

None of these are particularly well-known for business, but if forced to choose I’d say Georgia.

None are bad options. The academic differences are marginal.

It's more about fit, environment, specific major, and where they want to pursue a career.

All three are regional schools. So be mindful of that. Wisconsin is going to play better in Chicago. Maryland in the mid-Atlantic. Georgia in Atlanta and the South.

Thanks. This stresses me out. Ha. Can't he apply for internships anywhere. Or through people we know. I get that it's easier with the area closest but what if a kid only gets into one of those or let's say UGA is the better fit but they won't want to stay in the south but wants Chicago etc. I feel like these days everything is more global and online or who you know?

These are national research universities. Regional schools are more like Towson.

Seems Midwest Nyc would look at northwestern or uchicago or nyu vs wisconsin.

And ATL would use Emory over UGA?

And mid Atlantic uva over UMD, no?

You think thousands of kids at Wisconsin, UGA, and UMD don't get jobs? Try harder

Your bigger-name business schools will send kids all over the country (think top 10ish). But for a kid who really wants Chicago, your best bet would be a school like Northwestern, ND, Indiana, etc. These are the schools that area employers know best and will prioritize. Kids from lower-ranked business schools in other regions will have a slightly tougher road. Same goes for other big cities.

This ^ poster nails it. The minor differences in quality of business school at all these schools (including Florida) are insignificant compared to the major differences kid will experience in weather, travel time, cost, proximity to internships, campus culture, etc.

Exactly. More accurately, they aren't regional schools but rather they have a very strong reputation in their region compared to nationally. This means top companies in their region will recruit there, top companies outside of that region wouldn't necessarily do so. Most students also end up settling in the same region of the country.

As opposed to a school like Berkeley or Michigan, who have a strong reputation nationally and even internationally.

^ Another point is that the top companies in the country are based in NYC, California, followed by Chicago. This means greater salary but also greater cost of living.

Wisconsin has the best reputation out of these schools in NYC and California. Maryland has a good reputation in NYC. Georgia has the worst due to stereotypes about the South and the SEC.
