<p>I was admitted to Boston University (CAS) and Case Western Reserve and I’m having a hard time choosing between the two. I will be majoring in biology (or some variation of biology) and I definitely want to be involved in research as an undergrad (I’m thinking about becoming a biomedical scientist). Currently, I’m leaning towards BU, mainly due to location (Boston is a pretty sweet college town).</p>
<p>Which school do you think I should go to?</p>
<p>Which do you think is better in terms of food, dorms, bio departments, research opportunities, things to do in the area, etc?</p>
<p>If there was one reason you wouldn’t go to Case Western or BU, what would that reason be?</p>
<p>For graduates of Case Western and BU, how are your job prospects? How has the school made it easier for you to get a job (or not)?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>I made this same exact choice actually for Bio and I chose BU. I really chose BU because of Boston and I was not sure I would want to go to a school that was mostly STEM people (Case). I think research wise you have a much better chance of doing research at Case and I also liked the food and dorms better at Case. The dorms at Case tended to be smaller units and you don’t have to pay for laundry :P. I also don’t like having security guards personally. On the other hand there is more stuff to do in Boston for sure, BU has a nicer gym and is in a less crime-ridden city and also has better weather. Both BU and Case have grade deflation from what I am aware of. </p>
<p>Boston vs Cleveland /// end thread</p>
<p>That’s doing a disservice to both universities when you say that. Case is more than Cleveland and BU is more than Boston.</p>
<p>bu without a second thought</p>
