Tufts vs Northeastern for Economics and Mathematics, international student

Hypothetically, I’d go to Northeastern. If the job market in Switzerland is anything like the job market in the US or Germany, the additional work experience from the co-op programs would give you a significant leg up when you are looking for your first “real” job.

Northeastern also offers a much larger range of courses, made possible by its size. I learned the hard way how limiting small colleges can be if you want to focus (or “specialize”) in any particular sub-discipline of your major, instead of just taking whatever upper-level elective is offered that term.

Neither university has any sort of reputation in Europe (that I am aware of); you might as well drop that pretense.

Non-hypothetically, I would go to Tufts because I signed an ED agreement.
