Hello, I am currently deciding between BC and Northeastern. I would love to hear some perspectives on both these schools/ anything people did not like about either school! Thanks!!
Besides different strength areas in terms of subjects, the biggest deciding factor between these two tends to be fit/culture. What major(s) are you considering?
BC is a suburban school at the edge of Boston with a very traditional college vibe. A religious school as well, almost similar to a LAC.
Northeastern is a city school with a very practical approach with co-op. It’s very much a non-traditional college experience with low emphasis on sports and the like, though of course, it’s there if you want it.
I think people tend to group them together because “Boston” but they have a lot of strong differences. Which of those descriptions speaks to you more?
PS: Search here and you’ll find plenty of comparisons of the two as well.

You’re either in on co-op or you’re not. Should be an easy choice.
i go to NU and i love it! it’s great being in the city but having an actual campus (BC is like a 45 minute T ride out from Boston). co-op is really the biggest factor here, so think about if that’s something you value!
