<p>For the most part, any of these schools will be adequate in resources, academics, and graduation prospects. But, college should offer more than what looks good on paper. </p>
<p>If I was a big city, big school kind of person, I’d pick BU or Northeastern.
If I was a liberal arts, well-rounded kind of person I’d pick Tufts - less of the nitty gritty engineering, plus their college of arts + science holds more status and influence.
If I was a small school, less mainstream techie kind of person, I’d pick WPI. </p>
<p>If I wanted school spirit and big partying, I wouldn’t pick WPI. (partying=greek, and that gets tiring) </p>
<p>If I wanted the real world feel, Northeastern would do it for me. </p>
<p>If I wanted more distractions/my happy hour, BU is my school. Northeastern comes next. </p>
<p>If I was torn between liberal arts and engineering (not uncommon), if I wanted to be a well-rounded engineering, have a bigger intellectual feel, Tufts is the way I’d slant. </p>
<p>These are stereotypes, but see how you feel about them.</p>
