They are all good, but in many ways very different. Lehigh is the smallest, in a revitalizing, small, steel town. Purdue is the biggest and in a small town. There are roughly the same number of students as there is total population in W. Lafayette. Northeastern and Pitt are both about the same size, a bit smaller than Purdue, and very urban. Personally, I would base this decision on the intangibles of preferred location, support for non-academic endeavors, desire for athletic teams to cheer for, and price. As a side not, students can co-op at any school, but it’s baked into the ethos at Northeastern. Good luck. All good options!
