UA VS GWU 真诚求助 （今天问了一老美，他的回答让我很吃惊，付对话）

本人在澳洲交流的一年中,也有很多中国人,但丝毫不影响个人英语的提高,相反,仗着自己人多,上课回答问题都不给老外机会,哈!

纠结吧...纠结吧...

看看这个帖子里面的主旋律还是偏向GWU不~

你要真问美国人，就问那些美国教授，或者直接问你心仪的公司的HR（如果你能够接触到这些人的话。。。）

你那个美国同学，typical的美国学生。。。人家和我们不同，人家挑大学的时候还要看那学校的basket ball team, football

team强不强呢，你会看这些么？

UA那个是铁定9个月么？不能延长？如果你本身没有会计背景或者没有相关工作经验，还是去个时间长的吧

Different people choose different schools for different reasons.  I will pick UA in a second for its strong faculty and research reputation.  Yes, one year is a concern. Tucson is a very pretty city, with mountains and deserts nearby.  However, safety is a big issue due to problems associated with illegal immigrants. Professor Dan Dhaliwal ( I think that he is still the chairman) is known to take good care of his students.   I am not sure about Masters' students.

University of Arizona today has a very strong accounting Ph.D. program. I know this from a very famous accounting professor of U. of Chicago who is from UA.  In my humble opinion, UA is currently even more desirable than Michigan's accounting Ph.D. program.  Dhaliwal is the key reason.  In term of accounting program, UA and GWU are not in the same leagues.

In short, UA is well known in US (even in my Chicago neighborhood). Don't want to comment about GWU. As a tourist, I will pick DC over Tucson or the Valley (except in winter).

Good luck!!  By the way, ASU's AIS program is also very well known.

Pay attention to the program LZ will go to, it is master of accounting not PhD. Most of programs in B-school are professional education programs not academic ones. Landing jobs always first concern for the b-school students. How can you image HR managers will care about the school research ability and certain so-called famous professor in that school? They really do not give a shit.

Even overall ranking 100 school can be well-known in States, how come GW can not (its overall ranking much higher)?
