<p>Frankly, I would take Ohio State. It has highly ranked programs in engineering and science. It also has a LOT to do on campus. Also, for 23K less, I would pocket the difference and invest it. That $92,000 four year savings invested in an average performing mutual fund for 30 years would be worth about 1.4 Million!</p>
<p>Maybe I was unlucky, however, I met three people who attended BU and all either didn’t like it or transferred out! I know this isn’t statistically valid, but I would investigate BU more. </p>
<p>Finally, BU has a reputation for low grades and lacking grade inflation. This could seriously affect you if you apply to graduate or professional school.</p>
