<p>What is the difference between Boston College and Boston University?</p>

<p>Also what are some good engineering schools that aren’t to hard to get into in the east???</p>

<p>They’re complete opposites.
BC is small, religious, football oriented, and has a real campus (it’s in the suburbs).
BU is large, secular, and urban, but lacks a real community feel. </p>

<p>As for engineering on the east coast, look at RPI and RIT. Neither are too competitive, but both have a good name in the field. Also look at Clarkson, and maybe Syracuse, depending on your stats. </p>

<p>It also wouldn’t hurt to check out what Rutgers has to offer; after all, instate tuition is a good deal.</p>

<p>BC is BEAUTIFUL!</p>

<p>Carnegie Mellon: it’s not quite the east coast and might be a reach, depending on who you talk to, but is a great school.</p>

<p>BC at 9,000 students isn’t exactly small depending what you’re comparing it to. While they both have about the same acceptance rate, RIT (avg SAT 1200, 30% of students in top 10%) and RPI (avg SAT 1320, 62% of students in top 10%) aren’t exactly in the same league. Might want to consider WPI as well, which is about half way between the two.</p>

<p>Clarkson. Also, excellent RPI accepts like 70% of its applicants.</p>
