<ul>
<li>Prestige/ranking amongst peers: NYU </li>
</ul>

<p>*Opportunities for research: NYU</p>

<p>*Cost of 4 year college: 45k (NYU tution and fee, grad with $29,480 debt) 44k (BU tution and fee, grad with $21,196 debt). Very similar but NYU is the better value.</p>

<p>*Scholarships: tie</p>

<p>*environment: NYU better atmosphere. BU more campus</p>

<p>*crime: NYU, the village is one of the safer areas discounting the event of the two auxiliary cops</p>

<p>*Alumni network: alumni give rate is 11% for NYU 8% for BU, take your pick</p>

<p>Overall, NYU hands down</p>
