<p>I’ve seen a few economics undergraduate rankings and most agree that Northwestern’s is better than NYU’s. Not to mention, Northwestern’s is more heard of than that of NYU’s, as it is one of the top in the world. For those who say location, I’m no t100% sure, but Northwestern students can get internships in Chicago, also a good city for business. They way I see it, Northwestern for economics, NYU for business.</p>
