Northeastern definitely on top of the list.

- Both emphasize on CS/Engineering, business, design, etc. but also well rounded to attract various types of students.

- Both in urban Boston area with modern looking campus

- Both highly ranked in retention which indicates student satisfaction/happiness
MIT: #1, NEU: #3

- Most innovative schools - https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities/innovative
MIT: #3, NEU: #8

- Top Coop/Internship
MIT: #7, NEU: #1

Classes have a lot of group/teamwork oriented projects.
There are many students who had MIT as high reach on their college list.

People are throwing out school names without reasons or just because it's stem heavy.

Be apprised, OP - there are one or two NEU resident DCUM haters who will try to disparage the school, but as far as CS goes, NEU grads are at the top of those we have employed in our large organization. NEU has always had, and continues to have, top CS and Engineering departments, in spite of DCUM. YOu should strongly consider applying, if your DC has strong grades, etc.[/quote]

Why bother applying to NEU?  According to its fanboys here, it’s just as selective as MIT.  [/quote]
