BU vs Northeastern

FYI, this is posted in the Northeastern thread as well to get separate opinions.

How is the campus community? I’ve read the BU has more spirit than NU because the co-op program ruins the “college experience”. Is this true? Is there no school spirit/college experience at NU and a lot at BU?

Is the fact that the BU campus is basically on one street bad? I feel like Northeastern’s is more secluded, which I would like more.

How is the financial aid? My family income is ~90k so I would need substantial aid to afford either school.

What are your general thoughts/opinions?

Thanks!

bu is in a very good location near boston but northeastern is near a very sketchy neighborhood
