Undergrad BM: Indiana University (Kelley) vs UVA (McIntire) vs Penn State (Smeal + Schreyer Honors)

Hello!

I am an International student living in Singapore and I want to study business management in university. I am in my final decisions stage and these are my 3 choices.

One of the major considerations are the costs, and whether it makes sense to pay the high international fees for UVA. Another consideration is career paths and where would benefit me in my future jobs. Does honors college at Penn State really mean anything for future employment? Any other thoughts? The college environment in these schools for international students?

Thank you for your much-appreciated input!
