<p>I’m choosing between BC and Villanova. I was completely sold on BC until I went to Villanova candidates day this weekend and I really loved it. I like Nova’s campus feel and the sense of community more than BC’s but I don’t think Nova has the academics or reputation that BC has. Villanova has an amazing track team that I could walk onto while BC doesn’t. What to do… what to do. I CANNOT DECIDE!!</p>
<p>they are both similar, BC has the city of boston minutes away....</p>
<p>BC is better academically and socially. Boston is within minutes. I'd pick BC anyday over Villanova.</p>
<p>I second choosing BC over Villanova. That really should not be a hard decision.</p>
<p>Don't base your choice on area alone, make sure you like the school.</p>
<p>Nova has King of Prussia minutes away and Philly is relatively close as well.</p>
<p>Yes Villanova may have Philadelphia and King of Prussia but Boston College not only has far better academics but it has BOSTON... </p>
<p>Which means all the top end shopping at Newbury St. the countless number of other students at BU, Northeastern, Harvard, MIT, etc and a wonderful city.</p>
<p>BC should be the clear winner over Villanova for its far better academics and excellent (probably better) location.</p>
<p>If you really love Villanova then go there. BC might be higher in those garbage US News Rankings, but those things are retarted anyway (not that BC isn't a great school, though). And I personally love Boston, but that might not be what's important to you. Also, if money is a factor you might want to pick whichever one is cheaper (if the difference is significant). But they're both great schools and if you really love villanova, then go there and dont be pressured by rankings.</p>
<p>Chriss said it right...but I don't get what is not to love about BC the campus is stunning, Boston is 2 seconds away, if you like sports you can watch some great Division I teams, the people are frinedly but the only drawback may be the homogenous campus and lack of diversity but Villanova is in the same situation as BC on that one. A plus for BC is that academically it is far greater too.</p>
<p>Choose whatever school you feel best at.</p>
