NU vs. BU

Graduate School
1

<p>Was accepted to both schools for Public Administration (NU) and City Planning (BU). </p>

<p>Both programs aren't even really ranked in their field, so I am really going for the reputation of the school to pick up the slack. Which school is more well recognized and has ample academic reputation behind it? </p>

<p>Both cities interest me, so I wouldn't mind living in either Chicago (program is not in Evanston) or Boston. </p>

<p>It's a tough choice but I think eventually I'll make the right one. I just want to make sure the school has a strong alumni network, great career services, and ample opportunities for internships and research. </p>

<p>Which one is the best fit?</p>

<p>Anyone? I am sure someone in here has some info to share.</p>

<p>I’m from the BU area and I can say that NU is significantly more prestigious overall (within the US, the opposite is true abroad), but I’m not familiar with the program specifically.</p>

<p>Well I plan to work abroad a few years anyways and assumed that NU had less of a major reputation over BU. I figured in the States, NU would be considered a higher school than BU but considering the massive influx of international students and the programs offered abroad by BU that it would have an edge over NU internationally.</p>
