My son decides between these two schools; he revisits both next week. He is considering English and Econ; humanities profile but well-rounded. Very different schools but he really loves both for their singular strengths. Academically, Tufts has the advantage in his fields, but he is also attracted to co-op – he loves experiential learning.

Anyway, my question: is this a no brainer? Would you just urge Tufts? My friends say at this point it’s fit and gut, but I wonder if he should also not take his eye off rankings, prestige (because it may open doors etc). But then there is the feeling that Northeastern feels like the future.
