Though I don’t know the jazz trombone faculty, both schools have excellent jazz programs, and Boston to NY is an easy train ride. If the difference in price matters to you as parents, then NEC. If you can afford the extra cost and don’t mind him going to New School and being in NY, then let him choose his preference.

FWIW, my son got offered non-trivially more $$$ from New School and would’ve happily gone there, yet Peabody’s jazz program was definitely the better fit for him for lots of reasons (in the opinion of both my son and us as parents). Fortunately, our family could afford the difference, so Peabody was the call. Pre-Covid, he took two trips from Baltimore to NY (one via train, another via bus) to see concerts, meet up with a friend who attends Berklee, and hang out with his cousins in the city.
