Arcadia versus Northeastern

I recently put down a deposit to Arcadia, but just found out I got into my top choice Northeastern. I think Arcadia is the better school, but Boston has more opportunities. Anyone have any advice?

I don't know anything about Northeastern, but I visited Arcadia and I learned that their curriculum is not traditional and I did not think this would work for my personal learning style. Also, Arcadia University is located in a very quiet suburb, not actually in Philadelphia. The campus is very small and it is for both grad students and undergrads. It is a highly ranked program and I sat in on a lab and the professors seemed extremely knowledgeable and nice. You can message me if you want more details about what I learned on my visit. Hope this helps with your comparison.

Arcadia is only 30 minutes from the city. There is a local train station that will take you directly to center city, which is only a mile from the school. I actually go there now so you can always PM me and I can try to explain further to help your decision!

& Philadelphia has more than 5 major hospital systems (Temple, Drexel, UPenn, Jefferson...) in the area so there are MANY opportunities here, too! This place is RICH in healthcare services.
