Northeastern over Notre Dame?

D (NMF, 2240 SAT) admitted EA to both schools.

Northeastern offers 4 yr full tuition merit scholarship, extra money ($8000) for international co-op/Study abroad, and participation in new University Scholar Program (The Northeastern University Scholars Program) within NEU Honors Program, which would provide special advising, research opportunities, small honors classes, etc.

ND, of course, does not give merit aid, and we do not qualify for need-based FA.

D is leaning hard toward NEU–Boston, Co-op, Honors, etc. She really liked it when she visited as part of the USP weekend. She is interested in biology/marine bio/environmental science, but also likes a myriad of other disciplines.

I am a loyal ND alum, but feel like NEU may be the right call here.

Thoughts?
