Hey I’ve been accepted to wake forest university and Northeastern for undergraduate business and I wanted to know which would be the better out of the 2 to further my career?
Both are great schools, but Wake Forest has a better reputation and is the better school overall.
Congratulations on being accepted to two great schools!
Some differences to consider:
- NU is 3x larger than Wake, with all the pluses/minuses of being in a large city
- Wake student body is not very ethnically diverse (~75% white)
- Greek life is big at Wake with 45% of students participating
- Weather
You have nothing but good choices. Good luck!
Wake Forest is ranked a bit higher, but the difference isn’t so huge (Bloomberg has Wake #13, NEU #22). The fit of the schools is very different, as mentioned above. Another big difference is of course co-ops. What are your thoughts on the fit of each and co-ops?
Such very different campus feels. Both great schools with great reputations. You are the only one who can figure out which feels best and which offers the most of what you are interested in studying. Do you want to be a Yankee or a Southernor!
I agree they have different feels. In terms of reputation, Wake Forest undergrad business is on a higher tier (comparable to BC.). Also, Wake Forest recently build a new business building that is gorgeous.
