<p>Hey guys, </p>

<p>I'm having a major dilemma. I have been accepted into both Northeastern and University of Maryland College Park for business and cant decide which to attend. I would be paying instate tuition for UMD (aprox. $23,000 cost to attend), however, NEU has given me a $20,000 scholarship making cost to attend around $35,000 per year. NEU is #1 in Co ops and and is ranked higher in 2012 Business Week at spot 28 v.s UMD's spot 38. While the U.S. News ranks UMD in spot 21 with NEU at extremely high rank of 72. I don't know which rank to believe given the large discrepancy.... </p>

<p>Additional Info.
-I hope to have a double major in economics and another bus. concentration.
-eventually plan to get and MBA or JD.
-Am a transfer from community college</p>

<p>ANY ADVICE WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED!!!!! Please let me know if you need any other info.</p>

<p>I am obviously a terp. What I will say is that money talks. Do you think Northeastern is worth ~50k more than UMD? I don’t think it is but that is the decision you need to make. Also don’t forget travel costs. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
