First of all, when it comes to college, don’t weigh heavily on the advice of people on online forums. People will try to point you in the right direction, but in the end, you really have to make the decision, because it will be a decision that affects the next four years of your life.

Everyone is different, and everyone comes into the college game looking for different things. For me, location and environment is a huge thing. I notice that you wrote down (commuter) right next to BU and Northeastern, does that mean you’ll be commuting from home? If so, then I wouldn’t considering choosing those. I don’t think I would be able to give up on the college experience, and I feel that if I did not live in a dorm with hundreds of other people my age, then it would take away from my experiences. I also feel that as a commuter, I would have a harder time making friends than if I lived in a regular dorm. I’m sure that there might be people that can refute my claim, but it’s just my opinion.

If you know what you want to study, then you should pursue a school that best fits the program you are trying to look for. BC does not have much of an engineering program, but on the other hand WPI is pretty much specialized in mostly engineering, and is a renown school for it. The problem for me personally at WPI, is that it’s about 70 percent men, and that would take away from my experience as well.

I wish you luck in your future pursuits. I’m sorry if I couldn’t help you any more.
