Northwestern v. Tufts

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I was accepted to both Northwestern University and Tufts University. I looked at the US News rankings and a few others, noticing that Northwestern is ranked higher than Tufts as an institution.</p>

<p>I am interested in both law and international relations, two things which are prestigious at Northwestern and Tufts, respectively. The prospect of a new city (Medford/Boston) is enticing, but the seemingly better quality of education at Northwestern pulls me that way. Since costs (tuition + room & board) are relatively equal and I do not know my financial aid package from either school yet, I was wondering which would be a better undergraduate school to attend.</p>

<p>Any suggestions?</p>
