<p>sorry about that mistake mistaippa. i think that both programs are excellent. i guess it all comes down to whether you want 7 or 8 years, what type of weather you would rather live in, etc. but prestige-wise, i think that both are about the same. NW is much better known because it has been around longer and accepts more students.</p>
