Northeastern or Rice?

<p>Hey guys! I have to decide where to go to college in 12 days and I was hoping to get some opinions. So I can go to Northeastern for about $5,000 per year or Rice for about $30,000 per year. Rice is a little pricey, but my family can mostly make it work. This is also for undergrad in Biomedical Engineering, so how much does it matter? Your thoughts will be much appreciated!</p>

<p>Both very good schools, Rice being better. Pro for Rice: better name recognition= easier to get a job. Con for Rice: It is so much more expensive than NE (but if you work, then maybe itll be like 20,000 a year and if you parents are kind enough to pay, then thats good). Pro for Ne: its a good school, and its cheap! Con: none</p>

<p>Reasons to go to rice: You won’t be the one paying and i think 30,000 a year will be nothing in the long run. Then name recognition will most likely land you a higher paying job which will make up for the higher costs. Rice is more prestigous and you get bragging rights.
Reasons to go to NE: you pay close to nothing, still a good school.</p>

<p>i would personally go to Rice becuase of the name recongnition. i would decide based on which school has a better biomedical engineering program</p>
