I have a strong interest in business Finance. I would greatly appreciate some comments/insights on these two colleges(UNC and NEU). Tuition will be almost the same for me as NEU offered merit scholarship.
I am looking for ideas on:
prestige, social life, academic program, overall better choice…?
Thanks in advance!
Both are excellent so there’s really no wrong choice.
Northeastern will include co-ops and the vibe is more preprofessional, with students focused on getting a good job and learning what they need to that end. It’s in a big city. Part of the college body is gone on Co-op at any point after freshman year, which makes it harder to keep a cohesive campus culture. Professional outcomes are excellent due to the Co-ops.
Kenan Flager offers offers a more traditional college experience : big campus, big sports, tons of on campus activities, college town the life of which is dedicated to the university’s. The weather is milder/warmer. There’s a mix of attitudes and majors. Most students are from North Carolina. Academically, unc is one if the top 5 public universities in the country. Due to its prestige, students have no problem finding summer internships.
