<p>“Harvard has one of the best football stadiums in the country and the Harvard-Holy Cross football series is over 100 years old and the most played between IVY and non-IVY. Holy Cross is a great academic school-strong pre-med and pre-law with good alumni network.”</p>
<p>-All of this is just rhetoric. This says nothing to the relative strength of the football team at Harvard.</p>
<p>Northeastern University, and note that during the year there are generally no more than 7,000-9,000 students on campus b/c of the co-op program. They have a good health science program.</p>
<p>Your best bet for what you describe would indeed be at Sargent College (at Boston Uni.), you'd probably find a lot of interest in their Health Science major which is framed for you to study all aspects of health care (medicine, law & public health, administration, etc.) for the 1st half before you zone in on your concentration and select an internship as part of your major in the 2nd half.</p>
<p>Only problem I would note is that BU has probably the most lacking campus in the Boston area after Suffolk (which will have the one up on BU now that they bought all that land by the Cambridge Galleria). If you can make do with a four block wide campus with a six-lane road +train going through the middle of it, then you'll be fine at BU.</p>
<p>Note that BU, Northeastern, and Brandeis' programs all satisfy pre-med requirements at their respective schools.</p>
<p>I'd say, given you're interests and picks, i'd say your best bets are, in this order:</p>
<ol>
<li>Boston University</li>
<li>Northeastern or Brandeis (<a href="http://www.brandeis.edu/programs/hssp/%5B/url%5D">http://www.brandeis.edu/programs/hssp/</a>)</li>
<li>Clark </li>
<li>Boston College</li>
<li>Tufts or WPI</li>
</ol>

<p>On the note of football, I'd could tell Pats fans all the time that the Raiders are a much better franchise and the 49ers have a much moree successful history....</p>
<p>....but now, what's that got to do with 2005 or 2006 football season? Which of those three teams would you put your Super Bowl bet on?</p>
<p>given your criteria, BC is the clear choice. A top school nationally, gaining more and more respect (and applications), 9000 undergrads, top 25 in major sports like football, basketball (mens and womens), and hockey. Just to show how selective it is i believe this year, the school received 26,500 applications for 2250 spots in the freshman class</p>
<p>Does BC even have any undergraduate health or medicine programs? I was just there Friday, and the answer is no. So why would you direct the OP away from four other school which offer the rare Public Health undergrad studies as well as direct her away from one of the best undergrad Health schools in the country? For football? BU is gine at football and Northeastern sports do not suck.</p>
<p>Northeastern is pretty selective too. This year, Northeastern received 27,100 applications for 2800 spots in the frosh class. 6500 applied Early action (first year of EA).</p>
<p>What does this mean: "BU is gine at football..."? Whatever "gine" is, didn't BU completely abolish football a few years back?</p>
<p>Also, the OP says he wants to study "healthcare law or medicine." Aren't those studied only at the grad level? Cre8, where did anybody say anything about the OP wanting to study public health?</p>
<p>BC has nursing. No other undergrad health/medical majors.</p>
<p>Yes, BU has no football team. My fantasy team name for CC fantasy football is Boston U. Football :P</p>
<p>TourGuide, in Public Health, you study the governmental side of medicine, disease control, health laws and ethics, basically (healthcare laws, duhh).</p>
<p>That's a very rare undergraduate major, and you're lucky to have three schools in Boston that offer, why you go for the one school of four that doesn't just b/c of a football team you're not playing on is what gets me.</p>
<p>And yes, that's why I said, BC has no undergraduate health programs of any walk. (A nursing school of 80 people, but the OP doesn't want nursing and that's a seperate category anyways)</p>
