I know it’s almost time to make a decision, but I am still trying to decide between BC, BU, NEU and WPI. I am planning to be an engineering major (not sure yet or maybe pre-med). WPI gave me $41500 with $10000 loans+payments, BU $40100 (commuter) , NEU $36,900 (commuter) and BC gave me $50300 with $4500 loans. In this tough economy, BC gave me the best deal. So I was leaning towards BC. Also BC is a lot more prestigious than other schools. I know BC doesn’t have engineering, but since they are giving me the most money I will still consider it.

Now, if I want to major in engineering, which college will give me the best education/prepare me for real world challenge/ help me get a good job and above all I will be able to keep my grades up (here BU has a slight disadvantage because of it’s grade deflation). Now if you were to choose one among those engineering schools which one wpuld you choose (based on my criteria) and why??

Please someone help me out here. Your opinion will help me make a critical decision.
