USC vs full ride to The university of Miami vs Cornell

Hello,

I am looking towards a career in business. I don't necessarily want to go into banking, but I want to attend a school that will give me the most opportunity to be successful: with the schools networking, teachers, and name value. I also want to attend a school that has many other aspects going for it, not strictly pertaining to business.

I've been accepted into USC, Cornell, and have gotten a full ride to The University of Miami. Although, I can afford the tuition at each university, a full ride is nothing to not think about. Can anyone give me advice on which offer looks the best as a persue a business career. Although Miami isn't ranked as high it's still a great school and their offering me a full ride. Thanks!

You'll likely have a career limp with full ride. It's not like cornell vs Cornell for free. You may try to guarantee transfer into Cornell in a year? If you want to save some money sbort run...
