[b] Not true. My kid is at BC with 4 years of housing and we are full pay. They have friends who are on financial aid and got only 3 years of housing. I honestly don't know what goes into the decision |

I went BC and Harvard (2 grad degrees)
In Mass, the BC degree started more conversations and manifested more positive feelings. Harvard seemed like a place that was not accessible for many. BC was a conversation starter. In DC, people liked Harvard b/c they could add my name to grants and claim me as a trophy hire, but it did not help as much as the BC degree for things I really wanted to do. |

BC for sure
Michigan has amazing history departments but the size is comically large - Just way too many kids |

| Equal prestige but BC gives you the private school experience while Michigan gives you a large public school experience for private school tuition. Go private. |

Between them, its a matter of personal preference.
It's not like BC vs Notre Dame. |

This would have a practical impact if kid was applying for a PhD program. Rankings are waaaay overrated at the undergraduate level. |
