Graduate Schools? PLEASE HELP

I am looking for good graduate schools for business in these three states. I was wondering if anyone here would reccomend any? I have looked into Wake, Vanderbilt, UT, and Belmont. THANK YOU!

I have followed your other posts originating with your Charleston, Nashville, Knoxville question.

If your girlfriend is now considering Wake, I would vote for that new option over the other three locations for relocation purposes.

I agree that a travel forum is not the best place to seek business grad school advice.

Haven't asked this before, but any particular reason why your girlfriend isn't posting these questions since she's the one considering grad school and you seem to be okay to teach wherever the two of you end up?

I think you will enjoy NC very much and the surrouding school systems (to Wake) are good options for you.

Good luck with your Labor Day visits - but that's a lot of ground to cover in one weekend.

I can only assume that she has already gotten brochures from the grad schools in all those places. She really needs to study them and decide which one offers the most courses in the field or fields that she is most interested in. An MBA can cover a lot or a very little territory.

Make your decision on what school would provide the courses that would be most beneficial for HER. She's the one that is going to have to do the study, not the strangers here at Fodors.

Agree with aileen; also tell us what specifically you want to know:
Which town would be the most comfortable or affordable to live in while you're studying and has the most to see/do off campus?
Which offers the best internships, alum network, job opportunities (do you want to pursue your career in the same town after finishing or move on)?
Which is best for the field of business do you want to specialize in?

We might be able to help you with the first question, but for the others, you're in the wrong forum.

Go to CollegeConfidential.com and get help. It is a great web site. Go to the forum section on it.

Go to the absolute best bschool you can get into irrespective of the location. It is only two years, location doesn't matter.

Since you'll have to relocate for any of these schools, I'm curious as to why you're limiting yourself to these specific ones. Depending on what your future career goals are, if you're free to relocate, it often makes sense to go to the best MBA program you can get into. If you want to get an idea of how these programs are ranked, you can Google the rankings of US News World Report and Business Week.

I'm not suggesting that the rankings are the only thing to go by, but they are certainly one important piece of the equation. Business Week's website also contains several helpful articles about choosing business schools that you might find valuable.

vandy and Wake are good choices, but so are UNC Chapel Hill and U of Virginia.

the University of Georgia puts quite a bit of emphasis on the MBA program as well.
