UMass v UVM v Northeastern

So I’m waiting to hear from more schools, but right now these three are my top choices. I’m not sure which is best for me; could anyone give me some insight into which might be my best choice?

UMass - CoA: ~24k/year, not accepted into honors college,
UVM - CoA: ~25k/year, accepted into honors college,
Northeasern - CoA: ~28k/year,

I want to do chemical engineering but UVM doesn’t offer it so I’d most likely do mechanical there. I live just outside Boston so NU is the closest of the three by far, and that’s convenient. I like skiing so UVM wins there. But I want to be successful in finding work after college and I think i’d have the most difficult time finding a job after going to UVM but I’m not sure. Northeastern has co-op which would be really awesome.

What do you guys think? What are some of the pros and cons of each in comparison to each? I’ve only visited Umass so I’m not as familiar with the feel of the other two.

Polymer Science/Chemical Engineering at UMass-Amherst is among the best such programs in the U.S. What I like about Northeastern engineering is that the it will move into a very impressive new building in the near future. Labs and facilities will all be upgraded.
