Where should I go to study business? (Houston, Eagle Pass: school, university)

[sharingan99]

Hi, I am wanting to finish my degree in business and at the time, I am looking at something that is convenient and that fits with my schedule. At this point, there are only two places that stand out. My first option is a town called Eagle Pass. There is a college there and the classes are really cheap($447). While I know that name is important, i just want the degree. The pros are that the people are nice(I have visited there before) and the classes are cheap. The cons are that the town is very small(less than 30k) and because of that it is hard to get a job.

My second option is to do a degree online through texas a&m. The pros are that I can live anywhere, but the con is that the class is more expensive($780) and since I am not that good at math, i worry about taking an online class which is principales of finance.

So my question is, which is the better option here?

Btw, the name of the school is sul ross rio grande college.Thanks!

You should go to big cities for business, definitely. Neither of them are good for you.

I wouldn't do an MBA fully online. Networking is a big part of it, just as (for better or worse) name can be, depending on where you want to work afterwards.

So I'd examine what it is you hope to get out of a graduate education. If you just want to acquire the skills and don't need additional job prospects (like you know some place that will hire you already) then you might as well save your money. If not ... I'd go somewhere a little more in the center of things.
