Deat sdesai11 : Let’s hold the money and prestige of the two schools aside for a moment. The two have one very major difference : does the idea of an internship as part of your undergraduate “requirements” (Northeastern) excite you as part of your academic undertakings? Would you prefer a strong core liberal arts program (Boston College)?

Now, there are the environmental differences, sports and campus feeling differences, architecture differences, and finally educational philosophy differences. Ultimately, the differences are rather stark and this might help you focus on some of those points before deciding purely on the cost factor. Hope that this helps. (Side Note : BC’s Math program - my sophomore child’s major - is very strong. Economics, one of my senior’s two majors in CAS - is similarly solid.)
