<p>Northeastern University (in Boston) or
Syracuse University (in Syracuse, New York) with a 6k yearly scholarship</p>
<p>costs:
NEU: around 43,000
SU: around 42,000 (includes scholarship)</p>
<p>I plan to major in the field of communications (I did not get into Newhouse at SU, but the College of Visual and Performing Arts)</p>
<p>I would like a school that I can easily get around the campus/surrounding city with without a car (by walking or taking public)</p>
<p>I would like diversity in the student body but realize both of these schools are predominantly white with a small amount of minorities</p>
<p>I live on the west coast so both are far geographically so that is not an issue between the schools</p>
<p>I'm not big on Greek life but don't mind it if its there</p>
<p>I would like a school that has a strong sense of school spirit/ attending sports events...etc</p>
<p>I want a surrounding city that has a variety of shops/restaurants/culture stuff, like museums etc</p>
<p>& I am very interested in studying abroad in either Asia or Europe</p>
<p>any suggestions of pros and cons or the schools? I have never been to either city or school and have only seen pictures...but any help is much appreciated thank you! :]</p>
