The college application process is over and now I need to decide! I am ultimately undecided but feel strongly about entering into computer science or the like. I was accepted to Northeastern, BU (No scholarships, no aid) and RPI and I feel best about Northeastern, but when I get to reading US News rankings and whatnot I second-guess myself.

Ultimately, I’m just asking for other people’s opinion on the three schools. Will NEU’s coop be most beneficial to me, or will a job not be that important for someone with a CS degree who is possibly looking for his masters? Should I be more interested in RPI’s tech-driven curriculum, or should their mostly male student body in upstate NY keep me in Boston?

Any opinions are appreciated. Discussion is the straightest path to decisions.
