<p>I've been accepted to both schools and I am trying to decide which to attend. I thought bu was a better school but no that I'm looking around, some people think differently. I have financial aid for both schools but out of pocket money for bu is about $9,000 while neu is about $22,000. Still, I want to make an informed decision.</p>
<p>I am going for a mechanical engineering major and possibly going pre-med as well. I've heard about the co-op opportunities at neu but as i understand it, bu also has co-ops. Can anyone give me some insight as to which would be a better choice in the long run?</p>
<p>BU does not have coop, they have some summer internships.</p>
<p>yes i think they do.</p>

<p>You are correct! BU is finally copying the coop program from Northeastern after looking down their nose at it for so many years.</p>
<p>haha so do you have any input as to which would be a better choice?</p>

<p>But at a price difference of 12k I’d go to BU, probably. Doesn’t mean I think it’s a better school (we didn’t coin the phrase “Sucks to BU” for nothing), but the difference is negligible. 12k/year is a lot of money.</p>
