Not much difference.  So those high stat kids are satisfied and like to stay at both of the schools.

Not much difference. 
Both schools get similar good respect from the industries

These two schools really have very similar stats.
Go with fit.

Northeastern does have a location plus.  Boston is a full-on college city.[/quote]

I think Boston being a college city is overrated!  Many cities have local colleges (including DC, Philly, NYC) and I don't get why everyone thinks going to college in Boston is better than any other city.  If you are at BU, are you really hanging out with kids from Northeastern?  And if so, so what?  I just don't get the hype...[/quote]

The city itself is overall just more interesting.
NYC is another one, hence the soaring popularity of NYU.
