<p>Consider the source of that “information” with a grain of salt. You won’t find that judgment corroborated anywhere else.</p>
<p>Yeah, Northeastern is better than BU, but not as good as BC.</p>
<p>Laughable. As the other person wrote consider the source of the “information”.</p>
<p>before you laugh too hard, check out the NRC rankings of a few science departments. NE does ok in that regard.</p>
<p>Some people just don’t know what they are talking about. Five seconds of research is all it takes.</p>
<p>“BC’s freshman don’t live on the main campus; as a BC freshman, you have to take a 15 minute bus ride to get to the main campus. Something to think about.”</p>
<p>You should really know what you’re talking about before you spout this crap off like its a fact. Over half of the Freshmen at BC do live on the main campus, I will be a Freshman there next month and I’m on the main campus. And as for the other 35-40%, the other campus is only 1.5 miles away (easily walking distance if you want) and the bus takes about 10 minutes max, usually more like 5-8.</p>
<p>Now for the OP, I’d second everyone’s call to have you check out NEU and Tufts. As for your BC/BU decision it sounds like you’re leaning BC a lot. Campus is a big deal and you said BU feels impersonal and too urban, then don’t go for it. It is an urban campus and its not for everyone.</p>
<p>One thing about BC though, it is a religiously affiliated school (Catholic). It shouldn’t be a huge deal, and I’m very non-religious and am attending, but its something to keep in mind.</p>
