<p>Ok, so I know that CC is riddled with these types of questions..so I figured I may as well join the group and maybe get some different perspectives. I'm sure I'll get some nice opinions here, so here we go!</p>
<p>First of all, I'm got into the Engineering schools for both colleges, and it's likely that I will be pursuing computer engineering as my major. </p>
<p>Boston University:
PROS:
-I love the location
-Change in scenery (I live 5 minutes out of Philadelphia)
-I've heard great things about their academics
-I received a pretty $10,000 scholarship
-awesome-looking study abroad program (Sydney, Australia!!!)</p>
<p>CONS:
-5 hour drive from home
-not sure how their engineering department compares to Drexel's
-parents seem to be set on Drexel, so overcoming them may be an obstacle</p>
<p>Drexel:
PROS:
-close to home
-I already know Philadelphia well
-known for engineering school
-not as chilly in the winter as Boston
-Co-Op
-$8,000 scholarship</p>
<p>CONS:
-5 years to graduate with 3 Co-Op option
-looking for change of scenery
-BU gave me more cash</p>
<p>And that's all I have. Any help, opinions, experiences, and suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!</p>
