<p>BC>>Northeastern>BU</p>
<p>Only a few years ago this was the other way around.</p>
<p>Not really. BC has been top for a long time. But NEU has been on an upward trajectory, while the others haven’t changed much.</p>
<p>Neu offers merit aid. Bc doesn’t.
This is a big plus if you don’t qualify for fa.</p>

<p>Even though BC is undoubtably higher in rankings, I know a lot of close friends that turned down BC and chose Northeastern. BC just doesn’t offer aid like NEU does, and their campus is a lot different.</p>
<p>BC is more of a suburban campus. Northeastern (FYI, Northeastern doesn’t go by the NEU moniker anymore) has more of an urban campus.</p>
<p>Plenty of students still call it NEU, fyi.</p>
<p>Cool story. Northeastern still doesn’t go by NEU anymore.</p>
<p>Even if they officially changed it, basically everyone I know still says NEU instead of NU. This includes me, and I became a student AFTER they started the push towards NU. I don’t see NU becoming commonplace anytime soon.</p>
<p>Aren’t you a BC alum? Meaning you don’t go to Northeastern, work at Northeastern, visit Northeastern, receive Northeastern e-mails… So really, you only know what’s on the internet.</p>
<p>The website might say “NU” or “Northeastern”. But if the students, professors, advisors, tour guides and alumni pretty much all say “NEU”, then Northeastern still goes by NEU.</p>
