In fact, my kid chose Northeastern over UVA.

Received some scholarship/aid, and the cost was just little bit higher than UVA In-state

So you chose a fake USNWR gimmick school over one of our nation's most storied universities?  I don't get it. [/quote]

[b]Northeastern beats UVA on most of the major metrics[/b] except for the business program.

On top of that it's in one of the best location compared to the middle of nowhere

Like what?[/quote]

[b]Like outcome, retention rate, student quality(based on test scores), etc[/b].[/quote]

Northeastern over UVa. on these "metrics"?  You gotta be kidding[/quote]

UVA is just a nice state flagship.
If cost is same, definitely go with Northeastern unless you are dedicated to business although you get 50% shot getting into McIntire

Seriously who wants high school 2.0 in VA countryside when you can go to Northeastern if cost is same.  [/quote]

True, Northeastern's environment is probably far better than Williams or Amherst if you want a good school in Mass that isn't in the middle of no-where. It is just a question of where you draw the "good" line for a bunch of schools. Plenty have different things to offer. If you had a daughter interested in a women's college, I'd say Wellesley, Smith, and maybe Barnard should be added to the list too.[/quote]
