Fairfield University Undergrad (Business) or Syracuse University Undergrad (Business)

I am currently a High School Senior that has until May 1st to decide where to go to college. I am stuck in between Syracuse Whitman and Fairfield Dolan. Which one is better for Business, and which one do you think has greater networking opportunities/connections to New York City and other growing cities like Austin TX, Miami, etc. Both schools seem very fun, although Syracuse is 3x the size. FYI, both business schools have the same undergrad enrollment though

Cuse grad here. Syracuse business school will definitely have you employed after you graduate. The name of the school is known nationwide, so it’s not a bad choice.

But if you would like to do banking, it’s not a good choice. The school isn’t on the same tier as the target schools mentioned here. At the end of the day, Syracuse is guaranteed to set you up with a solid, regular person career assuming you put in the work. (And pay the fatty tuition) feel free to dm me and we can chat if you’d like.
