<p>Hey I plan on majoring in environmental engineering but they don't offer that major at northeastern. My parents are pushing me towards northeastern because of their co-op program and record on getting you a job even in a tough economy. They are also supposedly better in engineering even though they don't offer my major. I like uvms campus and and town much better than northeastern. Im from a relatively small town and I really hate cities. Personally I think I'd be happier at uvm which is also much cheaper but it's far from home and I don't want to be stuck without a job after I graduate. At the same time I don't want to be stuck in Boston for four years. Any advice?</p>
<p>I wouldn’t recommend going to a school that doesn’t offer what you want to major in. Period.</p>
<p>Well I could possibly major in engineering and minor in environmental science at northeastern I think</p>
<p>Or try and make my own major</p>
<p>If you can make it work at Northeastern, personally, I think it’s a much better school. And your parents are correct, it has a great internship program.</p>
<p>At this point in the post, I often raise the usual questions about cost, family hardship, etc. However, since your parents are pushing for Northeastern, I assume that your family can handle the tuition.</p>
<p>Otherwise – I think graduates from both schools get jobs. It really comes down to how much you would hate being in a city. And discuss this with your parents.</p>
<p>Yeah the cost doesn’t really matter that much but I definitely would mind saving 30 grand a year due to the scholarships at uvm. I should also mention I have friends going to uvm and got accepted into their honors program.</p>
<p>-Wouldn’t-</p>
<p>I think you know what you want to do!!!</p>
<p>Good luck working it out with your parents.</p>
<p>Well not really, that’s why I’m asking here</p>
<p>Northeastern is not worth the extra cost - go to UVM and don’t look back.</p>
<p>I was also thinking of going to uvm for two years and then trying to transfer as a sort of truce</p>
