My friend and I got into a heated argument about picking a college. Last year I picked Northeastern over Villanova and URI, and looking back on it and the little research I did, I got incredibly lucky in making the perfect decision.
My friend tells me he’s trying to decide between Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Brown University. I knew he had applied to Northeastern, so I asked why he excluded Northeastern. He replied by saying, “A degree from Brown or RPI has more weight than a degree from NU.”
