<p>I am trying to cut down my list of safeties as I form my Spring visit plans, and I would like your opinions on these schools academic-wise. </p>

<p>Basically, I realize that prestige and rankings are not a reason to choose a school, but I want to make sure that if I go to one of my safeties, I am not closing any doors as far as top grad schools or top job placement.</p>

<p>So, could you rank these, in your opinion, with regards to:</p>

<ul>
<li>Prestige</li>
<li>Job Placement/Preparation</li>
<li>Academic Setting - (from most intimate to least)</li>
<li>Intellectual-ness? - (from the most academic-focused student body to the least focused)</li>
<li>Education in general - (best programs, business and engineering wise, to worst)</li>
</ul>

<p>Any other comparisons, advice, or suggestions would be great. I am interested in Math and Science, and I'll probably be doing Business or Engineering, but Med School is an option.</p>

<p>Thanks so much,
mvmanno</p>

<p>Northeastern University I find NEU’s student body impressive. Of course im biased because my son is currently enrolled.</p>

<p>The way I would rank them (from the Midwest) is-
[ul]
[1] Marquette
[2] Northeastern
[3] Miami OH
[3] Saint Louis
[/ul]
I really can’t see a definate difference between the education/prestige between Saint Louis and Miami. If you want to do medicine I would go to St. Louis; business, either one.</p>

<p>Yeah, I just worry that their prestige doesn’t extend much further than the midwest though. </p>

<p>Any other opinions?</p>
