<p>I am an international student and have been admitted to both the universities for civil engineering. I am confused between the two. I know northeastern may have a better reputation, however they didnt offer me any kind of scholarship. Drexel has given me 15k which brings my annual fee down to 53k from 68k. Northeastern's fee is about 58k. Its not all about the fees but the quality of education too.
Which is a better civil engineering school?
which will give me better job opportunity after i graduate?
Which has better reputation?
which offers better co-op program?
Where should I finally go?
Thanks</p>
<p>Both are great colleges. Northeastern’s coop is probably more well regarded. All of their coops are paid as opposed to Drexel where you can get unpaid coops. In terms of location, Northeastern is in a good spot in Boston and has a T-stop right near by. Drexel is in West Philadelphia and is next to UPENN. Philadelphia is less a little less walkable then Boston but both are cool, enjoyable cities with lots to do for college students. Northeastern has a higher rank thank Drexel but regionally i know Drexel is well regarded and Northeastern is also well respected. Both are great for getting a job because of the coop program. Northeastern is significantly more difficult to get into but I cannot make a firm judgement at which is “better” because you probably have to make that judgement for yourself. </p>
