US Universities for Exchange Year

Hello, I am a Spanish student who will go on an Exchange program to an American university in the 2021 Fall semester. 

My university offers these options as the ones which are most prominent.

How would you rank them 1-8? (obviously I should put Wharton #1, but I don't think I will be chosen to go there)

University of Pennsylvania – Wharton 

University of Michigan 

Georgetown University 

University of Texas, Austin 

Boston College 

University of North Carolina Chapel Hill 

Emory-Goizueta 

University of Illinois Urbana 


Thanks in advance!

 

What are we ranking them on? True college experience? Best overall experience (city and prestige)? I’d imagine as a exchange student these don’t really matter too much for recruiting.

 

I would rank them something like this then:

1) UPenn; 2) Georgetown; 3) Boston College; 4) Michigan; 5) UT Austin; 6) UNC; 7) Emory; 8) Illinois.

Georgetown and BC are both well regarded in finance and D.C. and Boston are much more interesting/exciting cities than the other locations (same reasoning for UT over UNC).
