UCONN or Northeastern?

College Search & Selection
1

I have been accepted into both of these colleges (along with UMASS Amherst and st. Mikes, but the other two are my favorites) and now i need to make a decision. As far as money goes, UCONN will be around 8k cheaper. I live 20 minutes north of Boston for a reference. I am going in undecided but am leaning on the side of biologic research. I also hope to attend graduate school. I’ll post what I’m thinking and any feedback would be great.

-Northeastern
the better school academically
in the city which I like
lots of people, which i like
the co-ops are amazing at deciding what you want to do and get a job after college, but they seem like they might interfere with the "normal college experience.
Boston is the place to be for bio. research

-UCONN
cheaper
large campus, which i like
it has more of that “college” feel, the normal 4 years of university which is what i think of when i think about college
something about it seems more “right” than Northeastern
2 hour train ride to NYC

I would try and save money when planning to go to graduate school as even a little debt can be a huge burden. UConn is generally a solid school but with most large state schools it has a little bit of a sports/party reputation. Also, UMass Amherst is a great school for the STEM fields, if it is Cheaper than UConn I would certainly consider it as well.
