<p>I agree. It depends on what you are looking for out of a school. If you are career driven and are looking to get a job at some Fortune 500 company or similar, Northeastern may be the better option. It tends to have better career prospects for students.</p>
<p>Alternatively, if you’re looking for an education that focuses more on the arts, BU is probably a better option. It has a decent humanities program. BU is also a little easier to get into.</p>
<p>Note that if you are thinking about graduate school, I would steer clear of BU due to its practice of grade deflation. You can google it to find articles written about the GPA and grade deflation issues at BU.</p>
<p>Either way, both schools are in terrific locations and offer great educations. Note that both schools are pretty expensive.</p>
