I got accepted into both schools, but since Northeastern wasn’t able to give me a financial aid statement in time, they extended my deadline for enrollment until the 15th. I was gonna choose the school base on the cost but they ended up being exactly the same. I know both have very strong computer science programs. Between NEU data science and Purdue Computer Science, which one would be better?
Hi, current Northeastern student here. I honestly have no knowledge of Purdue and their program nor do I have any specifics of the CS program at NEU. From what I’ve heard all my CS friends love NEU.
I know one thing that my CS friends love is the co-op program at NEU. I’m not sure if Purdue offers a similar program but I love the co-op program for myself. The CS co-ops tend to be good paying ones. I would recommend looking more into the co-op program and if it would benefit you as well as the environment of each school. NEU is in the city but still has a slight campus-y feel.
