Boston College and Tufts are weird choices when they have Boston University and Northeastern.

Depends on what OP is looking for, whether they want to be in the middle of the city or a traditional defined campus on the edge of the city.

(Not to distract from the thread, but even though Northeastern theoretically has a defined campus, personally I dislike Northeastern's campus. Feels un-unified and nontraditional in spite of that.)[/quote]

Our family visited all four schools, and all three of my kids fell in love with Northeastern. It felt like the perfect combination of a city and a defined campus. The campus had a modern feel.  Kids who prefer an urban setting don't care much about 'traditional'  One of my kids is attending now.

My kids were turned off by Tufts' campus and location. Tufts to Boston is more like GMU/UMD to Washington D.C.  Boston College's campus was nice, but it's only slightly better in terms of location and vibe.

However, as you said, it's strictly a matter of personal taste and preference.   
People really need to visit them for themselves.

My impression from OP by "DS wants to go to a college in a major city", it's likely Northeastern.
