<p>which school is better in terms of academics and reputation?</p>
<p>Wisconsin-Madison as far as reputation.. however the difference is marginal.. BU has a bigger brand name across the US and Internationally... its tough to say... also BU may have more opportunities b/c of its location...</p>
<p>so id say its pretty much a draw... search the previously threads on this topic.. theres been at least 2 that have given a large amount of info on it...</p>
<p>good luck</p>
<p>Even if academics and reputation were equal, the atmospheres are vastly different, so a student who is happy at one school would be unlikely to enjoy the other.</p>
<p>Similar in many ways so its about fit. Wisc. is a very different environment that Bposton so it may come down to which schools seems more interesting/exciting or comfortable for you. Where do you live now? Which BU college?</p>
<p>They both have red & white colors. Is that why this question comes up so often?</p>
<p>i'm a freshman going into CAS. i just hope that i made the right decision to go to BU over wisconsin.</p>
<p>Well, they both have good hockey teams. Stop worrying. You made your choice and it will be fine.</p>
<p>just out of curiosity... why would you have this thread if you're already going here?... just wait and see if you like it.... nothing we'll say here will change your mind... just figure it out for yourself... i mean boston is quite the town.. you'll have a blast</p>
<p>Plus there are so many other colleges in Boston and the surrounding area. Eventually you'll meet kids from NE, MIT, Harvard, Emerson, etc.</p>
<p>Its normal to second guess your choices in life. Make peace with your decision and trust that it was a good one. BU is a terrific school and having such an interesting urban experience for four years will allow you to grow in ways you can't yet imagine. Good luck.</p>
