OT Transfer

[BUFanatic]

I am having a bit of trouble at Valpo right now (socially not academically) and I was thinking of transferring next year if things don't improve. If anyone can give me an idea of BU that's there or an alum or a prof, please inform me as to the class of the Business school.

I'm an IB Major looking for a high starting salary, I don't necessarily want to work for CAT, I want a lot of internships around the country and around the world, I want to study for a year in Hong Kong. Any info would be great!

I don't know how much this helps, but here are a few links with information about Bradley's Foster College of Business Administration-

I would suggest that you get in touch with Dr. Scott, Interim Dean -- http://www.bradley.edu/academic/coll....dot?id=123898 -- personally via e-mail or phone call. From what I understand BU has a very good Business school with a quality reputation.

I'm currently a Junior at BU, but i'm in the engineering school. But 2 of my roommates are in the business school so if you've got specific questions, feel free to ask me and if i cant answer them i can have my roommates, or someone else from the fraternity answer them.

Thanks very much everyone (and the two members who messaged me)! I knew the BU alum network and current student network was great but WOW. I am impressed. I've been busy since I posted this, I posted it mostly so I could get a good idea of where to look around Thursday and over the weekend. I'm working on a list of questions and considerations to
A) Decide whether or not to transfer, and
B) Decide whether I will go to BU or Loyola of Chicago (I think that's what I am looking at in the way of top class universities right now! )

Thank you all again!

To begin with, I don't understand how a BU fanatic ends up attending any other school but Bradley.

I'm a BU Foster College of Business graduate and I would highly recommend it as an option for you.

It sounds like some others have already offered suggestions and advice, but I can say that the education I received as an undergraduate was superior to the MBA program I was enrolled in -- and this was a supposed Top 15 program, according to the U.S. News Rankings.

I'm not an admission representative, but choose BU! It provides you with everything you're looking for and more.
