Northeastern vs. BC

<p>Hi,
I applied to both BC and NU for early action. I got into NU, deferred from BC. I was then wait listed at BC. I just got off the BC wait list, and I need to make a decision. I wanted to get some advice from people who have been in the same situation or who go to either of the schools. Please help!</p>

<p>BC is more prestigious and offers a more traditional college experience. Northeastern is more practical in focus and attracts more professionally oriented studens. If you want to study the liberal arts, BC is the place for you. If you have a specific field you want to explore, NEU is the place for you. If finances aren’t a factor in this choice, the decision here should be dependent on your personality and intersts.</p>

<p>Thank you for the info. I had the sense that BC was a bit less “hands on” than NEU, but it is nice to hear some of the differences between the two.</p>
