Many years ago my daughter narrowed her choices down to USC and NU and I think in the end it came down to lifestyle; she hates the LA area, the whole driving vs walking/public transit, etc. I’m saying this to note that they are very similar in so many ways and you can’t go wrong with either choice. I do believe NU is, overall, a better school with a better reputation, but that’s minuscule in the end. Perhaps a different living experience for four years would also be a bit of a plus.

I agree with the “flip a coin” concept from InTheTopTwelve. Good luck!
