Yes, if I decide I want to switch to something like CS or EE/Optics I know that Rochester is very strong in those areas. Whereas BC’s strengths (business, liberal arts, communications), don’t matter much to me. Superficially, I think I’d be more motivated in a STEM focused atmosphere than a douchy finance bro culture.

I think your decision comes down to this. If you truly are looking at possibly switching to a major like EE/optics then Rochester would seem to be the better choice. If you are looking more at Grad School for Math or Economics than BC would be the better choice.

Also think about the curriculum (BC core vs Rochester open), the location Boston vs Rochester. Let us know what you decide. My S23 is looking at Math programs combined with either Philosophy or Econ and we have both Schools on the list. Good Luck
