<p>I've narrowed my choices to Boston College Honors in CAS vs Tufts. I am interested in development economics, international relations, and micro financing. I don't plan to go to grad school right after graduation so I am placing some emphasis on their career placement services. I realize the school's atmosphere are at opposite poles but I can see myself fit into either school. Does BC honors carry more weight in getting interships and my first job upon graduation vs Tufts?</p>
<p>I know that Tufts is known for its IR program.</p>
<p>Tufts!!! go there absolutely</p>
<p>BC honors! There are always great opportunities for honors students and advantages off campus. What do the finances look like cost-wise?</p>
<p>For your interests: Tufts. Tufts has the premier IR program of its kind and it also has the largest microfinance fund in the country. (The Omidyar fund)</p>
<p>I agree with tufts. It's an amaazing school and it looks like it has what you're looking for.</p>
<p>Tufts! I fell in love with the school, but i got a full ride to my state school and couldn't afford the cost differential because of grad/law schol plans. But in your circumstances Tufts sounds like the better choice of the two.</p>
<p>Thank you Sungchul. It looks like I will be heading to Tufts this fall. I agree that it is a better fit for me. I appreciate your quick response.</p>

<p>Thank you all for your replies. I agree with you, Relampago, that BC honors is a great program with unique advantages and it is hard to turn it down. However, it looks like Tufts does have a strong IR program and matches my long term goals. </p>
<p>Thank you for your inputs and best of luck to you all!!</p>
<p>no problem! good luck at tufts, it's an amazing school</p>
