For the record, even NEU honors doesn’t get priority registration - Honors is usually overhyped at most programs - some of the “benefits” at Drexel, for example, are standard for the whole student body at NEU (“free” printing / laundry). The quality of students is higher and probably more academic at some schools, but as mentioned before, even the general student body of NEU is more “academic” statistically than at least Temple
There’s certainly something to be said for graduating debt free, but I think 40K is worth it for the difference between the schools in question.
If you decide it isn’t, I think Temple is more worth it between Drexel / Temple excluding fit.
Good luck!
