Boston College vs Northeastern: How did you choose?

I love both schools but I've got to choose one. Can anybody share their personal experience about making the choice between Boston College and Northeastern, especially in terms of student life, opportunities, and academics?

Hey there! I have worked with students who have faced this decision before, and it often helps to make a comprehensive pros and cons list for each school.

Boston College has a more traditional campus vibe and a strong Jesuit community, which she loved, while Northeastern is more urban and has a renowned co-op program that integrates real-world work experience into the academic journey.

I'd suggest visiting each campus—if you haven’t already—to see where you feel most at home. Also, think about the kind of college experience you want: a serene, collegiate atmosphere at BC or a fast-paced, career-focused environment at Northeastern. Keep in mind the academic programs too; each school may have strengths in different areas. My advice is to go for the one that aligns best with your academic interests and the type of environment where you'll thrive both personally and professionally.

Good luck, it's a tough choice but either way, you're gonna have a great college experience!
