ASU Carey vs UIUC Gies

Trying to decide where I get my finance degree from. Not particularly looking to work/live in a specific area, just curious on general recruiting and opportunities, campus life, etc etc etc.

as someone at uiuc, theres threads on this I would think better than ASU (except for girls). the thing about these campuses is its up to u to put urself out there. UIUC is like the IBWorkshop they have people recruit from that. we are expanding quickly went from like 20 - 35 or something within years and sending mostly to MM but also EBs and BBs in NY (always like one kid who guns for SF). u gotta get into that. If u have a scholarship u probably will be set up well. I've loved my time here for other reasons as well which I think is also important. Feel free to ask further about what ur looking for

 

I also want to add that in the 3 years I've been here, there have been meaningful changes. the state, grainge engineering, Larry gies have thrown a combined billions to make this a great university and I can actually see the talent change year over year along with resources on campus. tbh I sometimes wonder why we arent viewed a lot differently, but I think it's because our school still pushes so many towards accounting (something that is still core, but some MDs, prior HF managers, Quant, PE guys are joining to really try to put people in other parts of business as well.
