Note:

Guys, some help here please! I'm choosing between McCombs, Fuqua and Anderson. I want a great MBA experience where the program and city is a lot of fun alongside going to a reputable school as it will also be my only break from my working life.
1. Where would you go for these criteria?
2. Is your top choice different by a landslide or a small margin?

Thank you!!

Anon Likes Earned: 0 I think for no2. a better question to ask would be what $$ value premium would you pay to attend one of these programs over the other? :) (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 Any scholarship money? Having minimal debt will make it more enjoyable. Everything else the same I think you'd enjoy them all but it comes down to the environment you want - city or college town? (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 A lot will depend on your post MBA geographic preference. If southeast, then fuqua. If Texas then mccombs. If cali then Anderson (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 McCombs not in the same league. Overall I'd say Anderson, but if you want to do east coast or healthcare, then consider Fuqua. (0)

Anon Likes Earned: 0 Fuqua is the best of these schools but Durham sucks. I think the traditional advice would still be to go to Fuqua. (0)

Same Likes Earned: 0 Crazy - I could be choosing between these same schools round 2. For me it is coming down to Fuqua v Anderson and a substantial scholarship could sway me either way. If I get no money, I'm going to Fuqua since I want to end up on the easy coast (0)

Malta Likes Earned: 0 McCombs is out.. Its between Duke and UCLA.. Duke is on a decline and will sink further + Durham doesnt compare to LA.. UCLA would be my pick.. (0)

OP Likes Earned: 0 Thank you guys! It's down to Fuqua and Anderson for me, thanks to your advice. Still undecided on picking a great city vs. a traditionally more reputed program. I have similar total cost for both. (0)
