Colleges and Universities A-Z Northeastern University

<p>i've been accepted to both schools in their engineering programs.</p>

<p>northeastern - nice dorms, def. co-op., boston, horrible weather in the winter, 5 years (i get to stay away from home), good food, not a strong sports school, okay parties?, good engineering program.</p>

<p>umd - ok dorms, DC (i love DC)., fair weather, 4 years, have to come home during summers, pretty bad food, awesome sports school, awesome parties, real good engineering program as well.</p>

<p>money really isn't a problem because i got good financial aid from both schools. </p>

<p>difficult to choose which one to go to.</p>

<p>which one would you attend?</p>

<p>You only go to college once. Why not for an extra year</p>

<p>Both fine schools. Flip a coin. If your first reaction is relief about the outcome, it’s all good. If you think you made a mistake, you probably did. </p>

<p>Btw, you can do four years at NU if you want to, it just means fewer co-ops. I did the five years. The beauty of co-op is not just that you learn what you like to do but it is also helpful to learn what you DON"T want to do. </p>

<p>Anyway you decide you have some solid choices. Good luck!</p>
