BU vs Northeastern

Colleges and Universities A-Z Boston University

<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>Northeastern is not worth more money than BU. The question historically has been whether and to what degree BU is worth spending more on. While Northeastern has clearly gone a long way toward closing the perception gap, it certainly has not reversed. </p>

<p>For example, BU is a top tier research university with hundreds of millions of funding, while Northeastern is not.</p>
