I will be focusing on Commercial Real Estate so UCLA and USC are my top choices. UCLA is my top choice, based on quality of students. However, within the Commercial R/E community, USC has strong / deep ties.
Originally, I was all gun-ho about going to Anderson Full Time. Given the state of the economy, I'm beginning to think that the FEMBA program is the better option.
I currently work in Commercial Real Estate Finance so it makes more sense for me to go part time. I'm still learning a ton of new things at work and the thought of giving up a nice paying job now (when I juuuuuust survived a round of layoffs) doesn't really make sense.
Hard decision to make. I'm definitely thinking part time is the way to go but who knows. Lose all my free time for the next 3 years or take 2 years of "vacation" at school, take on a butt load of debt, and HOPE the economy recovers (i.e. I can get a job).
Yikes.
