Northeastern vs IU Kelley

Colleges and Universities A-Z Northeastern University

I only have 8 days to decide and I have no clue what school to choose. Please help!!!
I want to go to a school that will get me a job in banking and ik prestige matters for this field but I also want a good fit. Cost is not a factor.

Indiana pros:
Nice campus
School spirit
Basketball is huge there
IB workshop
I will have almost 30 credits from AP
Far from home (don’t have to visit often)

Indiana cons:
Not diverse
IU is not a prestigious school (78% accepted)
Middle of nowhere
Greek life is ride or die (considering biz frat)
Party school

Northeastern pros:
Boston
More prestigious
Less partying
Near other schools (hangout with old friends)
Better if I want to get a mba right away bc I have 1.5 yrs of experience
High pay co-op for biz
Can co-op in LA
Easier to snowboard (IU also has ski club so…)

Northeastern cons:
If I go I would choose 5yrs
No school sport unless hockey and I care more about basketball
people are in and out of the school
Comp for top co-op in finance like Goldman or Morgan Stanley is heavy
Social life doesn’t seem that great (I want to party but not too much)
If I want to transfer they would accept my NUin credits
Close to home (would have to visit more often)

Thank you. Also dont look at the size of the list bc its not important. Please give feedback I’m so lost!!!

I posted in other threads on the comparison, but I’d be happy to answer any specific questions here for others later who may stumble on this.

For reference, for others, my post on the sister thread: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/discussion/comment/20587407/#Comment_20587407

Check out the the rankings

Poets and Quants
Us News and World Report
Bloomberg
Compare the rankings of the Undergrad Business Schools vs each other. One scores higher in all 3 rankings. Subjective yes, 3 totally different rankings.

Compare the costs of undergrad enrollment vs each other.

Once you compare both questions above, easier decision.

Daughter was accepted at both.

I can send my daughter to the higher ranked school, pay for undergrad school + send her to get her MBA for the cost of the other.

All the best to you.
