<p>I have no clue what to do!!! I was accepted at NYU Stern, but did not get any money from them so it's completely out of the question. Now, it is between Boston U. and NEU...</p>
<p>I got about 28,000 a year in grants from BU and 16,000 a year from NEU (i still don't know how much for financial aid, the 16k is for only academics). I am going into international business with a double major in entrepreneurship or business admin., and a minor in spanish. </p>
<p>I can't decide if I should go for BU because of the stronger academics, or go to NEU because of the honors program and great (ranked 13th) international business program (plus the co-op!)... What do you think??? Help meeeeeee!!</p>
<p>Why don't you wait until you get your full financial aid package from NEU before deciding? Based on the experience of other posters on this board, it should come in a few days. And yes, Northeastern has an amazing IB program +co-op. NEU also wipes the floor with BU in head to head business case competitions.</p>
<p>Case comp wins:</p>
<p>Northeastern: 8
BU: 0</p>
<p>I'm sure that the people on the BU thread would take a different view though. But they are both fine schools. Pick the one that best suits your needs and financial situation.</p>
<p>Well, I know a lot about the two schools, I'm trying to choose between Northeastern, Rutgers and Syracuse myself. For business, however, NEU definately takes the cake. Not only is the co-op experience invaluable when it comes to getting a job in business or starting your own company, but NEU overall has a better business program. </p>
<p>However, I'm sure the money is probably important for you, and you would do fine at BU also. You should wait for the fin aid from NEU and if it at all matches BU's award, I would definately choose NEU. but if it doesnt and its a huge issue for you, BU is nice too.</p>
<p>Another thing to consider is that the Northeastern IB program offers students an opportunity to earn a joint bachelor degree from a European B-school. This means that not only would you be able to co-op with an international company in Europe and study abroad, but you would receive two degrees. This would easily make your application stand out to top MBA programs.</p>
<p>After visiting the campus and talking with students this past weekend, I am convinced that Northeastern University hasn't even begun to get the recognition it will eventually receive. It is a guaranteed future! That is just one opinion.</p>
