re: Pick a College

Vandy is another school to consider. It is a better school than any listed, located in a great city, and doesn't have the snobbery of SMU. I've yet to meet a down-to-earth SMU grad. They're all pompous pricks. Also, with Vandy you'll still be able to travel to SEC football games and be an LSU fan.

Vandy is harder to get into, more difficult, and lacks the rediculous nembers of hot chicks that he'd find at SMU, TCU, Georgia, or even LSU or ULL. Heck, Tulane might even have a better crop.

If he was going for engineering or medical school, I would advocate for Vandy, but seeing as he wants to go the business route, I don't think Vanderbilt's the best fit for him. Also, if he decides to go to LSU, he should seriously look into the LSU CM program. It's a hybrid business/engineering degree with unrivaled alumni and local industry support, applicability for any kind of business environment (construction, engineering, manufacturing, or otherwise), a course load that's slightly more rigorous than business but far less rigorous than engineering after the first year (aka, you can rush), and the best job prospects of almost any major. Otherwise, go to TCU, Georgia, or SMU.
