@PengsPhils thank you for the advice from a northeastern student!! although i really loved northeastern when i visited, and co-ops and global opportunities there definitely excited me, i’m a little hesitant about whether or not i want to go to such a pre-professional school – i’m not positive i want to go right into industry after college, and i’m still considering going to grad school or going into research in CS or a different field, and i don’t know if those options would be as available if i went to northeastern over, say, NYU
@bluebayou the regent’s package from davis is definitely nice ($30k over four years, honors program, etc.), but it doesn’t really meet my other criteria (not urban, way too close to home, etc.), and i would choose the offers i got from northeastern (35k/year + honors) or smith (35k/year + stride research grant) over davis, since they are not much more, and i’m very fortunate in that my parents are willing and able to pay for my college education without financial distress
