1. An MBA from a place like CNSU is not worth paying additional money for. If you're getting one and paying for it, it should be from a reputable school, preferably ranked in the top 20-25 MBA granting institutions.
2. UCD all the way. Why go to a new school when it's cheaper to go elsewhere and you have other options? Yes, your parents live near CNSU, but this is not even a contest as far as caliber of schools...
3. Maybe you'll still hear from Minnesota. Lots of people are shy about cold weather...
