Hi Diety,
There are a lot of great schools that offer business schools, so this is a great question to start thinking about. There are going to be pros and cons for each school, so it's important to do your research. You want to consider factors like cost, location, financial aid packages, campus safety, technology and the business partnerships the schools have. Partnerships are important, because they will be your ticket to hands on experience, internships and job opportunities after you graduate. In the next steps I have included a link to Niche.com's ranking of best business schools for 2019. This is a great website that ranks schools on a number of factor, another source I would check out is Princeton's top business school rankings as well. Good luck!!

I couldn't agree more with Ann's answer. I would also add that there are schools that are ranked by types of business programs. If you're interested in finance or information systems for example, a certain school may have partnerships with more companies hiring for those specific majors. Thus, it is important to research "best schools for finance," for example. Also, you may want to consider geography. If you have an interest in investment banking for example, but you're not a big fan of a big city like New York City, you may want to research "best schools for investment banking outside of New York City.
If you checkout U.S News, they have rankings for best programs by specific majors. If you haven't thought of a specific major yet, they also have rankings based on overall business schools: https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/business.
I hope this helps and good luck!
