<p>I'm sure many people on this site applied and were accepted to both ND and BC (as I was). Which one would you choose? Why?</p>

<p>Dear Star: Visited both places in the summer with daughter. This is an easy question IMHO. ND wins hands down. Better academics, higher performing students, amazing student enthusiasm for ND, and ND pedigree will help you more than BC pedigree(most places).
BC has a nice campus but is kind of cramped. BC also can't guarantee housing all four years. Plus some frosh are at the Newton campus, which is maybe 1-2 miles away. BC campus is pretty, but kind of small(but is in a very nice area of down, and has its own subway stop; Boston subway system is great).
So unless you have a connection to Boston, or think you have to be in a big metro area, ND is the way to go. Good luck.</p>
