Which one is the best in:
- Engineering
- Computer Science
- Economics
- Physics
The differences in all those areas are negligible enough that I would personally choose based on fit. If you want to have an idea of “department prestige,” which may or may not matter at all to an individual, one could easily take a look at USN&WR rankings. But the level of education/research/peer-group at either of these institutions in those areas is top notch. That’s probably not the answer you’re looking for, but anybody definitively stating that one is the clear cut “best” choice for any of those departments, is looking at things in a silo (unless, of course, they’re interested in an engineering major that is only offered at once of the two…then you can say it’s the best because the other school doesn’t even offer it!).
What is NU?
Northeastern U
Northwestern U
Niagara U
Novasoutheastern U
Pretty sure he/she is comparing Duke to Northwestern since the departmental strengths against the other schools is a no-brainer.
Yea I am talking about Northwestern
