<p>I can't believe that I have been accepted to all 3 of my EA schools. I am still waiting on NYU (RD). Each of these 4 schools have a lot to offer, and each is a bit different. I am having a tough time deciding on a school. To me, for over-all college experience, I can't think of a better school in the country to attend than The []_[]. Miami has it all (i.e. great academics, weather, activities, varsity and intramural sports, the beach, fishing, diving, the everglades, etc.) If I was latino, or wanted to spend my life in FL., or latin/South America, this would be a no brainer. Boston College has great academics, o.k. sports teams and a wonderful small liberal arts feel while being close to Boston. Northeastern is probably the fastest ring star of all universities in the USA. The co-op system in unparalleled. In addition to an excellent academic reputation, it maintains a good feel campus right in the heart of Boston. Boston is clean, and probably the most dynamic collegiate city in the world. However, it can not be denied that NEU lacks the college atmosphere varsity sports (except maybe hockey). While NYU is cold, gritty and urban, with no sports, academics are top notch and there is no better place to meet future contacts and network. Any thoughts? I'm going to post this in all 4 college forums to get input from different points of view.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t call NYU “cold” though it is certainly gritty and urban (which is actually a huge draw for most people). That being said, it sounds like you’re looking for a traditional “college experience” which you won’t get at NYU. There is a definite lack of school spirit, and if you come here looking for that, you’re going to hate it. That being said, we do have sports teams, its just that most of the student body doesn’t really care about them. We feel the same way about greek life. It’s there, but unless you’re directly involved, you don’t hear about it.</p>
<p>In terms of academics, specifically chemistry, the chemistry department is the bomb. A lot of great researchers and opportunities to get practical research experience which is essential if you want to go further with chemistry</p>
