<p>So, right now my decision is between Northeastern, BC, and GW. At Northeastern, I would be studying international business, which I know is a good program, and I got 20K a year, whereas at GW I got 10K a year and was accepted into the Honors Program. At BC I would be in the Carroll School of Management, but I didn't get any money.</p>
<p>Now, my parents will pay for my college education, but they spent quite a lot on my high school education, so I do feel some obligation to lighten their load a little. Right now I am leaning towards Northeastern because I live right out of Boston and I recieved the most money there. The co-op program is also a plus.</p>
<p>However, I've been told by several people (including my college counsellor and a student who attends NEU) that I would be the smartest person in the class at Northeastern (I haven't decided if this bothers me or not), in comparison to GW, which is much more intellectual. In addition, I'm not pleased that I didn't get into the Honors Program at NEU.</p>
<p>I'm wondering if anyone can give me input on these three schools, most specifically how much the co-op will benefit me (will I even get one?). Also, what is the student body of NEU like? Is the university a good community, or does it just blend into the city, like BU?</p>
