<p>It isn’t difficult to graduate UCLA in 4 years. That’s completely false. Way more northeastern students take +4 years to graduate than UCLA students. (that why NEU’s forbes ranking was so low; look up the NEU forbes controversy.)</p>
<p>As kataliamom put it, northeastern good if you’re pre-professional. You’re not, but that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be enjoyable anyway. If you’re pre-med, especially with your goals, that’d be much easier to do with less debt. I still say NEU.</p>
<p>That being said, biology is one of the most popular majors at UCLA. And you’d have access to MANY internships here at UCLA (our hospital’s one of the best in the US) That’s definitely something you should take into consideration.</p>
