It sounds like the fit difference is big here - for only 6-10K in loans (assuming total), that’s well worth it even if your parents don’t retire. A CS major will pay that level of loans off in a single year. Northeastern would be the better choice strictly speaking for CS alone, but Tufts is a fine choice for it and it seems you will be much happier there. All this is coming from a Northeastern CS student who loves the program here. Co-op is a big part of the community here and while you absolutely can interact with people outside of CS (co-op doesn’t dictate this), that’s not going to solve the fit difference. Tufts still too has study abroad you can take advantage of.
