<p>Boston UNIVERSITY* vs Northeastern</p>
<p>What are the major differences between these two schools such as each ones strengths and weaknesses?</p>
<p>They're both very good schools. Northeastern has an amazing co-op program that allows you to get work experience, BU has slightly stronger academics.</p>
<p>I agree completely. Bu and Northeastern are about the same when it comes to academics. I would pick BU over NE because NE is 5 years instead of 4.</p>
<p>yea...however, i read on NE's website that some of the programs at NE can be taken over 4 or 5 years..either one..........but yea ythat whole 5 year thing isnt going well with me</p>
<p>It really depends...that 5 years gets you a ton of real-world experience and, depending on your program, could get you your Masters degree after that fifth year. Check it out.</p>
<p>Something that wasn't mentioned is that NU has an absolutely gorgeous campus.</p>
<p>And nobody can say anything because I'm going to BU!</p>
<p>Not many kids in the Boston area would pick Northeastern over BU, even with the near constant advertising on the radio by the former. But it's a perfectly good school.</p>
<p>It's funny to hear that campus described as beautiful because it was for decades considered a 1950's eyesore. They have done a very good job of building a campus and, remember, this is one of the very few schools in the US which, like BU, is truly in the heart of a real city. The negative of Northeastern's campus is that much of it is on the sketchier side of the tracks.</p>
