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!!!
