Should I Choose Northeastern over my other choices ?

Brandeis will have an effect on your social life if you’re not Jewish?? Can you elaborate…I’m not judging, I’m just curious how it will effect your social life? My daughter while not a CS major is down to deciding between 3 schools, NEU, Brandeis, and Villanova. Religion did not play a rold in deciding where to apply or 2 of her final choices wouldn’t be one Catholic and one Jewish school. We’re not very religious, and respect all religions. We are going to the Brandeis welcome event and Dean’s scholar reception this weekend and hopefully that will help her decide. We went to the Northeastern EA admitted student day back in February. I think her arguments for both are the same as most. NEU great school, co-op, great location, etc, but what appears to be not a lot of school spirit. Brandeis is a closed campus with a tighter community feel, but outside of Boston. It will be a tough choice and hopefully after this weekend she will have a better feel for Brandeis, we haven’t been to the University to visit yet. All 3 schools did offer her Merit, with Northeastern being the highest, but not high enough to clinch the deal! Her choice…Good Luck to you it must be difficult making this big decision when across the country.
