Skidmore vs Bates vs Kenyon
Hey everyone! I'm an international senior that is being recruited by these schools. All of them gave me an offer, and I'm currently deciding where I will go. I want to major in economics and work right after getting the Bachelor's. Help me pls to choose one of these colleges.
location:
Bates: in comparison to S and K, location wise Bates is located in a bigger city with population 40k and a 40 min drive from Portland(70k)
Kenyon: as far as I know it's located in a town where there is only on major shop and an hour drive from Coilumbus, OH(1 mln)
Skidmore: 30 min away from Albany(100k)
Internship opportunities:
As all of these colleges are located in not big cities, in order to get an internship I would need to travel to cities such as Boston or NYC.
Bates: 40 minutes to Portland International Jetport. Flight to Boston ~1 hour, to NYC ~1.5 hours.
Kenyon: 1 hour to John Glenn Columbus International Airport. Flight to Boston ~2 hours, to NYC ~1.5 hours.
Skidmore: 35 minutes to Albany International Airport. Flight to Boston ~1 hour, to NYC ~1 hour.
could you help me choose a school by providing info regarding the recognition, networking, and ranking in econ. All of these schools are really great in econ afaik, but maybe I miss something. And maybe I forgot to have smth in mind. Thanks!
