<p>I am deciding between BU and Brown because I got a full tuition scholarship to BU, which is ranked #7 while Brown is ranked #46 in the undergraduate BME category.</p>
<p>I have read both of their websites closely and both seem to have ample opportunities but then again, the websites are made to “sell” the school, so this didn’t help me too much.</p>
<p>I know rankings don’t mean much, but I feel like BU will provide me with more research opportunities since it is Boston. However, I don’t want to miss out on an Ivy league education where the atmosphere will be great and fit my ideal student body.</p>
<p>Is it worth doing engineering at Brown in BME if it will cost 163k? Where as BU will cost only 60k?</p>
<p>I heard from some people that the Brown’s engineering department is weak and that having an Ivy league name for undergrad is not worth it, and it would be wiser to go to BU since it has a stronger opinion.</p>
<p>To people going to brown or any other students in my same situation, what is the better option? (P.S. As part of the scholarship, I get priority in terms of research funds and stuff at BU so I really don’t wana miss out on it either)</p>
