Northeastern vs BU (Engineering!)

Colleges and Universities A-Z Northeastern University

<p>Hello everybody I am now between these two well recognized colleges and I wanted to ask for some opinions as I don't know which college to choose. From my point of view both colleges are well known in the country but BU is more famous outside of the US. As a Brazilian it would be better in this way to go to BU. However, Northeastern has offered me better things such as honors and a small but important scholarship. Right now I really don't know where to go, and I would appreciate to hear some opinions.</p>

<p>Also, is the honors program very hard? Would it be duable with the engineering program?</p>

<p>Thanks for the attention!</p>

<p>From what I have gathered, the honors program isn’t much different than normal.</p>

<p>As for BU vs NU internationally, that makes sense, because BU still ropes in more internationals than NU. The Co-op experience would help greatly for your future in engineering, so that’s something to consider.</p>

<p>Do some more research, especially into your major, and base your decision off of that, not random CC responses.</p>

<p>i am really confused right now, the more research I do the worse it gets</p>

<p>Take a look at this:

Northeastern has made globalization a priority.</p>

<p>Look at the outcomes (even if there might be some bias) and potential employers. Look at how many people the schools graduate in your area of specialization (third link).</p>

<p>Northeastern’s co-op program is a big selling point. Having experience coming out of school is very valuable. That will be a bigger selling point than name recognition.</p>
