Help me Decide - Northeastern [NPC $25k] vs UIUC! [NPC $41k?] [SAI 0]

Hello, I am deciding between the two colleges listed above

Northeastern University

Pros:

  • I got into Meche and Bioengineering, which is my preferred major, as I want to continue into the biomedical sector
    • Also, I have easy access to change majors completely if i feel compelled to
  • Location is amazing
    • More things to do in terms of Boston and the Northeast in general
    • It is a lot closer to home and great for Biomed
  • Financial aid is pretty good with an EFC of 0 (estimated 25k/per)
  • I really like the idea of the co-op program and getting experience before i even graduate
  • I had the ability to tour and enjoyed it

Cons:

  • Overcrowded asf
  • Party life is subpar
  • No school spirit
  • Out of touch rich people
  • Financial aid not blessing up!!!

UIUC

Pros

  • Way more prestigious and well-known in terms of engineering
  • Traditional college experience and well-known for their party life
    • Great sport/bar scene
  • I did their NPC and it came out to 12k/per

Cons

  • I heard there OOS financial aid is not that good (comment you experience)
  • Got into Civil Engineering and would probably change my major, which I heard is difficult
  • It is a lot further from home compared to NEU
  • In the middle of nowhere
  • Heavy on greek life which I am unsure if I see myself a part of

Give me your honest opinion and correct me on anything i said wrong!!!
