    University of Utah vs University Of New Orleans?

    Hello, Today I received my acceptance letter from the University of Utah and the University of New Orleans. Those are the only schools I applied to. Now I am confused about which one to choose. Both gave me a good financial package. Any suggestions about which one is a better program? Thank you.
