Hello,
I am new here. I am from Turkey and have been accepted from both these schools. I am not sure about choosing one. Can you give me some information if there is such a big difference between Riverside Anderson MBA and Fresno Craig MBA in quality of education, international reputation, campus opportunities, internship opportunities etc.
I am married with a little baby. They are going to be with me in the US. So, living cost is one of the most essential factors for me to choose either of them. According to my research, living cost (house rental prices) is lower in Fresno than Riverside. Around the campuses, rentals are about $800 in Fresno and $1200 in Riverside.
However, I don't wanna miss an opportunity by being stucked in living cost, if Anderson MBA is much more better in other factors I mentioned above or not mentioned.
I will be glad to receive information, experiences and comments.
Thanks.

Welcome! Congratulations on both acceptances. There are lots of factors to consider....
Fit with Community: do you feel more comfortable at one school over the other?
Career Goals: do the schools have comparable placement rates in your target industries? Do your target companies hire at each school?
Educational Approach: what teaching methods do they use? How do class sizes compare?
Reputation: does this matter to you? If so, how well known is each school in your target industry / region? How do post-MBA salaries compare?
Location: can you see you and your family living in each city? Are opportunities for your spouse better in one location?
Cost: how do tuition and cost of living compare? (I would guess that Fresno is cheaper but make sure you are including all expenses)
Make sure you have all the relevant data and if you don't, ask the school for things like graduation rates, career placement rates, starting salaries, tuition / books budget, etc. They should have all those numbers so you can compare. If you can, talk to students or recent alums and see what their experiences were like.
Based on what I know, Anderson has a stronger overall reputation than Craig. But it depends on your post-MBA career goals because it's possible Craig could be stronger in a specific niche area you're interested in.
Cost is important to consider but it's just one factor in my view, so make sure you're considering the others I mentioned above.
Good luck, and keep us posted on what you decide!
