Northeastern [Oakland start] vs Wisconsin-Madison for Electrical (maybe Computer) Engineering

I think Oakland would be my concern for engineering.

Make sure it doesn’t hold you back.

Wisconsin will be your traditional rah rah school - nice campus, sports, lake.

Northeastern won’t be.

Kids will make friends or won’t make friends - wherever they are. I’m not sure why it’d be a concern at one but not the other?

The other thing with NU is - kids are coming and going for co ops, etc and there could be some social impact there.

I’d choose Wisconsin - free and awesome - but the biggest concern would be the curriculum at Oakland.

You might ask NU to speak to a student in computer engineering who went through that program.

Good luck.
