Hi, I’m planning on majoring in Physics and Philosophy (both schools have the interdisciplinary major) and I have no idea where I’m going to go. Anyone got any opinions between the two? BU is ranked higher, but truthfully, I don’t know what’s setting it apart from NEU.
Thank you in advance!
Is Northeastern still 5 years?
my D is neuroscience and she’s going to graduate in 3.5 years at NEU. If you plan things right, even with the Coop it doesn’t have to be 5 years.
Interestingly enough, my nephew is on the verge of committing to BU. Both are really close to each other and ranked pretty similarly - the differences lie in what major you are planning on doing.
Unfortunately so, but you’re given the option to do 4. if you choose 5 it includes 3 co-ops @NYC2018nyc
As mentioned, Northeastern is not a required 5 year school in any way, though many people choose 5 year programs. Unless you have additional schooling in mind I actually don’t think the year differences matter generally when you boil down the differences.
As mentioned, the schools are pretty similar generally and things like major, how you feel about co-op, and general fit/gut feel tend to distinguish them. In this case I would focus on fit and how you feel about co-op.
