<p>I'm majoring in economics at both schools, and I'm having a really hard time deciding between them. I got a full ride at UT, and 10K/year at Northeastern, so the money situation favors UT. Which should I choose?</p>
<p>UTexas...would be a great choice, unless you want a small university atmosphere and don't mind an overly pre-professional bent.</p>
<p>A full ride at UT is hard to come by given the financial woes of the UT system. I would take it and run with it. Northeastern is not worth the extra money, its not like it is Harvard, its northeastern. UT all the way.</p>
<p>Absolutely UT, unless you really, really want to be in Boston.</p>
<p>UT is a very good school, well known for business and econ. I would advise you to take UT even without the full-ride.</p>
<p>UT isn't Harvard either..it is UT. What it is worth us what the student gets out of it and where he wants to be...</p>
<p>Where do you hope to be living/working after graduation? If you want to stay in the south, definitely UT. Its reputation is strong down here, and many top companies employ UT grads.</p>
