Northeastern Honors College vs. UVA

I go to public high school in northern Virginia, so a lot of my high school goes to UVA. My sister went there and at first felt like it was high school 2.0 but loved it after her first semester. I want to be able to find jobs in/near a city in environmental research upon graduation. I love Northeasterns co-op program, how almost everyone goes abroad, and numerous other factors. I was also accepted into the honors college which pays for about half of tuition, so Northeastern would only be about 4k more expensive than UVA as an in-state student. However, I also want a traditional college environment with school spirit, parties and sporting events that UVA has. Please help!
