<p>Hi there, this is my first time using this website for advice but I have a predicament.
I was accepted by both Tufts and Northeastern.
Northeastern accepted me into their honors college,
but Tufts gave more financial aid.
I am interested in Engineering and maybe business.</p>
<p>Do you think Northeastern is worth paying a lot more for?</p>
<p>Isn’t Tufts the better school in general? I wouldn’t get fixated on engineering-major rankings, I’ve found that those aren’t particularly important.</p>
<p>Northeastern has the stronger engineering program. Tufts does not have a business school. How much more will Northeastern cost?</p>
<p>Northeastern will cost me an additional 12k per year, Whereas Tufts gave me pretty much a full ride.</p>
<p>You say you’re “interested in engineering and maybe business”. This sounds exactly like someone who will change majors at some point. Take the full ride at Tufts. It’s a strong school overall, and that price can’t be beat.</p>
<p>Is this a joke? Haha just kidding but in all seriousness take Tufts. Beautiful campus unbelievable school. I will be heading to NEU next year but Tufts is my dream and with that money it can’t be eat</p>
<p>In all likelihood I probably will go to Tufts. I just really liked Northeastern’s Engineering/Honors/Co-op/Business opportunities. I am fairly certain that engineering will be my main focus, which is why i am concerned as Tufts isn’t really known for it’s engineering programs.</p>
<p>This is a tough one. </p>
<p>See an earlier post of mine. I dislike Tufts for engineering unless you know what you are getting. </p>

<p>If you definitely want engineering, I’d take Northeastern. If you want to be around really smart people in a liberal arts environment, I’d take Tufts. They are very different.</p>
<p>Tufts combines engineering and business. Check out the Gordon Institute (google it).</p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
<p>Last Decade: Northeastern vs. UMass
Last Year: Northeastern vs. B.U.
This Year: Northeastern vs. Tufts
Next Year: Northeastern vs. MIT
Next Decade: Northeastern (full pay) vs. Harvard (free ride)</p>
<p>Just found this thread and am looking for this kind of info; have been reading the Tufts and NEU threads only. </p>
<p>To the OP- go to Tufts; it’s a free ride!</p>
<p>My d has a similar quandary–she got into Northeastern’s honors program as an undeclared major with $20,000 per year dean’s scholarship and then just got designated a Global Scholar and she got into Tufts and Smith (among others, but these are the top ones). She wants to be in Boston and loves the co-op program but…She’s interested in psych and sociology which all schools have but is also interested in cognitive science and a strong women’s gender program which NEU definitely doesn’t have and Smith kind of has. Tufts seems to have a closer community than NEU (of course, NEU is huge)and my d is very interested in social activism.</p>
<p>RE: money even though NeU gave her the great scholarship, it’s not a “meets need” school, so our costs will go up and they gave her more fed loans than Tufts. She got a nice grant at Tufts and Smith (1 year), and I feel they offer price protection (if our financials stay about the same, our need/aid will.</p>
<p>So can anyone offer any opinions on Tufts vs NEU for the above mentioned majors?</p>
<p>On my campus visit, I like Tufts more …
That’s just my opinion, but I just rejected Northeastern.</p>
