BU SMG vs. Northeastern

Although I’m a student in CAS, I have my share of SMG friends.

Two points…

Do you want to study abroad? If so, BU will make studying abroad and even potentially interning while you live abroad incredibly easy. BU hosts programs in countless cities (see bu.edu/abroad) which means all credits and financial aid easily transfers over. Plus, all of the courses you take abroad will align perfectly with what you need. You don’t have to worry about working any of that out on your own. It’s super popular and a terrific program here at BU.

Do you want a team driven environment? As you’ve probably heard, SMG’s most commonly known for their Cross Functional Core that combines four courses into one overarching project that involves developing a business plan with a group of students. Most SMG kids take this during their junior fall. You will get experience that simulates the environment of team-driven work force life. You get to present your final business model to potential employers too who could ask you to intern or work for them.

You’ll still be able to get internship experience and all as long as you’re proactive and do well in school.

Other than that, I obviously like BU as a whole better than Northeastern…but that’s also completely biased because I go here and have had a terrific experience.
