Northeastern and BU business schools are overall academically comparable. NU has the advantage in international business. Coop definitely gives NU the advantage overall. That said, If NU would result in mega debt compared to BU, I am tempted to recommend BU. You have the opposite problem of the OP laurenp. She got a good scholarship from NU but nothing from BU. For her, I would recommend Northeastern.</p>
