<p>I chose Northeastern over Honors College at the first three: Chapel Hill, NC State, UNC Amherst; a few waitlists (so if Princeton gets back to me, probably bye-bye Northeastern).</p>
<p>Computer Engineering Major</p>
<p>I chose Northeastern over Babson, Bentley, UIUC, </p>
<p>Should I choose NEU over Williams College? I’m in the honors program business school at neu so not sure</p>
Northeastern Political Science over Michigan, Wisconsin, BU, GW, USC, Santa Clara, Lehigh
NEU over UMich for political science? That takes guts.
Checking back in a year and a half in and could not be happier with my decision: Frankly, I think NEU is a Top 15 or so overall CS school, particularly for learning good design paradigms as a Software Engineer. Additionally, for PL and Compilers as well, where we are formally ranked in the Top 15.
Lots of professors are being hired too: one of my professors was teaching for his first time at NEU this year - Harvard Undergrad, Yale Grad/Ph.D., worked at Google, researched at MIT Lincoln Labs, and taught at Wellesley before coming to NEU - and an amazing teacher. NEU right now is using a good deal of tuition to bring in world-class professors, and it is directly showing.
