I got accepted into both Upitt and Northeastern for Computer Science, cost will be similar due to scholarships. Do you have an opinion on one program over the other?
Have you visited both schools? What was appealing / unappealing about each of the programs (or the schools in general) for you?
From your last post, soccer’s a pretty big part of your life. (Not that you’d be playing D1; just as a fan / intramural player.) Pitt’s record of 14-6-0 is notably better than Northeastern’s 4-5-7. I would expect the club teams to reflect that delta as well.

I visited both. I loved Pitt’s campus atmosphere and sports culture. Not crazy about having to take a bus for 8 hours to get home in NJ, but that’s not a dealbreaker for sure. Co-op at NEU seems very attractive but I’m not sure if that will really make a difference in the end. NEU is closer to home and I really like Boston, my sister is already there at a different college. I want to make a decision based on the best program, although they both seem good options!
FWIW Pitt has a very well supported optional coop program.

I think both are great.
It might be nice comfort to have your sister nearby - and you can probably fly home for cheap from Pittsburgh.
I think one is a traditional college and one less so - so which do you want?
Likely no bad choice.
Good luck.
