Kelley School of Business vs McCombs School of Business(UNDERGRAD)
I am currently a senior deciding between the two schools. Can anyone tout a school over the other and list the advantages of going to one over the other?
Thanks

Career Resources
It all depends on what you want to pursue. McCombs is relatively stronger in Finance and Energy based on my experience.
If you got into BHP take UT. It is THE target for Houston IBD. Even for NYC placement UT's BHP beats Kelley's IBW. If you're in state for either take it obv.
What if I don't get into BHP for UT. What would you say then aphenophilia
Kelley's IBW placed ~17 people to BBs or EBs in NY and Chicago (approx evenly split).
You can apply to BHP as a sophomore but I'm not sure how difficult that'd be.
In this case I would pick Kelley but it's too close to call definitively. Cost and personal preference should dictate this decision.
Agreed with other posters, UT unless you're in state at IU
I went to IU and live in TX, have been around Austin and met many McCombs grads, so here's my take. I've looked extensively at McCombs for my MBA and think they are pretty equal in terms of quality of the school. Here would be my thoughts on what's different.
IU: - You get all four seasons and it is absolutely beautiful during the fall. Walking to class in the winter requires many layers and can turn you into a popsicle. - Small college town experience. That does not mean there's a lack of fun to be had- there are more activities there than you can take advantage of in your 4 years. Despite being in rural Indiana, it has a very vibrant arts and cultural scene. It also has a surprisingly great music scene, likely a result of having the Jacobs School of Music there (#2 when I was there, may have shifted since) and all the great musicians it attracts. Lastly, tons of great restaurants. Not great-for-a-town-this-small, but legitimately great food. Oh and beer. So many great breweries around Indiana. I think the Midwest beer scene is better than the TX beer scene by a long shot. - Kelley has I-CORE, which is one semester with a set of 5 classes that integrate with each other and culminate in the capstone case competition with the entire class. I really enjoyed this aspect of the curriculum. - IU basketball - The Kelley undergrad career services office is on point. They are extremely professional and do a great job providing you the resources you need to feel well-prepared for interviews (hosting mock interviews, for example) or getting your resume up to par (via coaching). They do a great job of coaching in this regard, so they aren't just helping you complete the task at hand but helping you learn to help yourself. Since graduating, I appreciate this even more. Everyone at Kelley is trained to be very professional and that was the norm, but once I got out of school I worked with people from other universities, some UT as well as some Hoosiers, and the Hoosiers stood out like a sore thumb (in a good way). They just had a great understanding of how to conduct yourself professionally that others had to try to learn as they went. One of my co-workers that went to IU for undergrad got her MBA from McCombs and when she was giving me the scoop on her MBA experience, one of the things I asked about was McC's career services office. She said "it's good, but it's not Kelley".
UT: - Great if you don't like winter. It is short and generally painless. The TX summer heat often does not subside until very late in the fall. Walking to class is a very sweaty endeavor. Get used to being sweaty and stinky not matter how often you shower. - Big city appeal. - Also has great cultural/music scene - BBQ and tacos
Those are just a couple difference I can think of. I imagine the quality of schools are very similar.
