Where would you go, Northeastern, Boston University, Brandeis, Holy Cross, or Smith?
I’d say it would depend largely on what you want. From your list, Brandeis has the best “name.” They are all smaller schools, except for Northeastern and BU. Obviously NE & BU are very urban, in the fantastic city of Boston. I am limited in my knowledge of the chemistry programs at the above schools, but I know about BU. I had a friend who was a chem major, actually, and he loved it. He would nerd-out over organic chemistry, and seemed to find the entire program challenging and rewarding. He got into a MA program at the University of Wisconsin, where he is now. My other friends from the science program are all at various prestigious grad schools. I certainly think our science/chem program is strong, if that’s what you’re interested in. You’d need to do specific research on the chemistry departments of all your other listed schools. Generally, I found BU academically challenging, and felt I got an amazing education. The price tag is high, but if you can get an academic scholarship (BU o
