<p>My son is trying to decide between these two schools, we have until Wed.!!! Visited both twice, money is similar, academics seem good at both, small with lots of support, one is urban one more of a campus setting...any ideas on these two schools???Thanks.</p>
<p>I would give Stonehill the edge for a few reasons: better male/female balance, higher retention rates, higher graduation rates. [College</a> Navigator - Compare Institutions](<a href=“College Navigator - Compare Institutions”>College Navigator - Compare Institutions)
But those are just numbers.
Does he want to be in the city? Does one have a better program in his intended major?</p>
<p>I think you are right about Stonehill having the edge over Emmanuel, having talked to students at both, they sound very similar as far as how supportive they are and how involved the professors are which may be in part from the smaller class sizes. His major is undecided, and really likes Boston…I like Emmanuel’s food service, organic and healthier! I guess we need to make the pro’s and con’s list and compare and I will check out College Navigator. Thanks for your feedback!</p>
<p>If he really wants to experience LIVING IN the city then Emmanuel would be great! As you know, right in the heart of the city. But Stonehill will be a more peaceful and quiet campus that is still close enough to get into the city on the T pretty easily.</p>
