Simon or Owen，该付哪个deposit？

各位CDer：

第一轮有了2个Offer,由于第二轮的offer时间超过这两个offer的有效期，所以要付押金了。请各位给我些意见。

Offer 1： Simon of Rochester, Scholarship: $15000/2 years, Deposit: $1500
Offer 2:  Owen of Vanderbilt, Scholarship: $50000/2 years, Deposit: $1000

个人背景和计划：世界500强制造业公司3年，供应链领域，毕业后准备在此领域创业或工作。同时会出于爱好考些CFA,CPA之类的。

另外，Owen的地方还可以嘛？

请各位CDer看看，应该付那个学校的押金啊？万分感谢!

哪家钱多去哪家...

I would have chosen Owen, Vanderbilt is among one of the most prestigious university in the Southern U.S..Nashville is a great city to live, not too big, not too small. The metro area (including surrounding suburban areas) has little over 1 million residents. the city is booming with more and more job opportunities. Dell, Nissan, Saturn all have large operations in the area. Plus weather is really nice, definitely won't be as cold as NY state.

i will choose Owen because of the money

i also heard about Owen's good relationship with the Wall Street and its good facullty in finance

but these two schools are not that famous for SCM.

The rankings of two business schools are about the same.  Location-wise, I would think Rochester is better.  It is two-hour drive from Cornell in upstate New York, and in a driving distance to New York City, Boston, and Toronto. Nashville is really in the middle of no-where because it is too far away from the historical cultural center of U.S. in the New England area.  Some labor-intensive industries are in Tennessee, mainly because the labor cost is low.  For Rochester, the local industries are higher up in the chain: Kodak, Xerox, Johnson & Johnson, and Bausch Lomb.  Moreover, a lot of people in University of Rochester are from New York city.   You are going to pick up New York city accent instead of Southern accent.  Like Chicago, winter is harsh in Rochester, but you can have good entertainment.  Students often do a one-day weekend trip to Toronto for Chinese food and movies.  Toronto has a very large Chinese population.  University of Rochester's Eastman School of Music is ranked either No.1 or No.2 in U.S.  You will often find good entertainment from students as well. 

这年头，如能用别人的资本做自己的事是上上策。 $35000/2年不是个小数，你完全可以拿它来投资田纳西的房地产或什么的。最不济也可用来考cpa或cfa。

看在钱的份上也要去owen

两个学校差不多
