Boston University vs Brandeis for pre-med

My son was admitted to both BU and Brandeis. What are the pros and cons? Thank you.

What are the finances like? Can you afford either one without taking on any debt at all?

There are many universities that have very good premed programs.

Finances are not an issue.

For premed, it really comes down to flavor. One is “peanut butter cup” and the other is “double fudge.” As long as he has top grades and MCAT scores, you can’t really go wrong with either one.

Both are great schools - but they are very different. One has a campus - albeit most don’t think very nice. But it’s suburban.

The other is uber urban.

One has to be there four years - day after day after day.

To me, one would draw me. The other wouldn’t.

That’s where I’d go.
