[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely visit the schools. Northeastern has a more campus while being in the center of Boston. BU's campus is a linear version of GWU, but you have the Charles river as a defined endpoint . BC is in the suburbs.

Northeastern is better "known" for CS, and their CO-OP program is strong, but all three schools will give you a great education and career result PROVIDED you put the work in.[/quote]

The odd part, and some of the PPs have cited this, is that applicants generally know how different each of the three schools campuses and offerings are, so parents/students who have done their homework rarely apply to all three of the colleges mentioned. By the time your child/student narrows down major and type of campus, even though all three schools mentioned are in Massachusetts, they are all very different. Again, this has been mentioned by several PPs.

That is why so many of the disingenuous comparison posts, including this one, come across as troll posts.  It also seems that parents get upset when they are mislead to think that a school is "easy" to get into, and their child is rejected. In addition, the Boston and New England area remains an enigma to some adults who have never been, but we have all seen the misinformation about what a campus is like, or what kind of student attends. While it can be entertaining - naive, uneducated, misinformed or ignorant parents are sometimes giving and given the wrong information, which seems the original intent of this post. This thread did end up providing some good information.

I don't think that this thread had the result that OP intended, and hopefully can bring some closure to OP for whatever their issue may be, with one of the three schools in particular. [/quote]
