Tulane vs. Northeastern vs. Quinnipiac

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I'm currently in the process of choosing a college and I'm having trouble balancing price with academics and social scenes.
Because Tulane doesn't offer majors in areas like Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering (possible interests of mine), I feel like Northeastern and Quinnipiac will better satisfy my academic needs. However, Northeastern is extremely more expensive and Quinnipiac has a really boring campus, and it's very close to home! I'm in a very difficult position right now. Can someone offer some insight and/or guidance?</p>

<p>Tulane: great price ($35,000 per year), great campus and students, poor choice of majors</p>

<p>Northeastern: HORRIBLE PRICE ($55,000 per year), ok campus and students, great academics and choice of majors </p>

<p>Quinnipiac: average price ($40,000 scholarship), boring campus that's really close to home, good academics and choice of majors</p>

<p>Tulane University! The scholarship is great, the people are really nice, and even though they don’t have Computer Science, I can still take classes in their School of Continuing Education (just not the major).
I can’t wait!
I’ll have another tough decision coming my way if I get into Brown, off of their waiting list.</p>

<p>And they have awesome Engineering partnerships with Vanderbilt and John Hopkins.
And Lastly, after talking to A LOT of people, including a current Tulane Math student, I discovered that Tulane has a pretty solid Math department (and most people double major, because of the convenience).</p>
