Northeastern is not a traditional school so most CC’ers don’t really like it. The CCers who were alums and/or parents of students there (I am both) really like it. Both are good schools. I have known Wisconsin students who liked it, and one who did not (mean girls) and transferred to a small East Coast college two years ago, where they are much happier. It seems like the cost is close for both. Maybe you could go to accepted students events for both and then make a decision? Or you could ask Northeastern if you can speak to a “Husky Ambassador” who has been in your position (engineering student who started in Oakland) and I think you will get better information than here. Good luck!
