<p>Hello all!
I was recently accepted to both Northwestern and Cornell (I still can't believe it!) and I am having trouble figuring out which one to which I should commit. I was accepted to the engineering schools of both schools, and plan on majoring ini bioengineering or biomedical engineering. I know both have roughly the same amount of enrolled students and weather, and both have excellent engineering programs. I am stuck, and would definitely love some guidance or advice from any of you guys!
Thanks!
PS- Finances are not an issue.</p>
<p>Different colleges in many ways. Cornell is much more of a pressure cooker, much more competitive amongst students, Northwestern is more low key and communal. NU is an easy train ride to Chicago, has a lake/beach on campus, Cornell is beautiful with all the hills and gorges but in the middle of nowhere. Oh, and NU is on the quarter system which means many things but one of my favorites with the quarter system is that every vacation (except Thanksgiving) is at the end of the term so no work to do while on break, definitely a better stress release!</p>
<p>You can’t go wrong with either one, obviously if you can visit in the next two weeks that would be best. Good luck!</p>
<p>D1s friend who attended Northwestern reported intense academic pressure, not sure where the “much more” comes from but he certainly didn’t confirm that, for one.</p>
