[Undergrad Business - Finance] UT McCombs Reg vs BC Carroll vs Northeastern Honors

Hi! I have trouble choosing between UT Austin McCombs Regular, Boston College Carroll and Northeastern Honors (mainly UT vs BC) for undergraduate business. I'm leaning towards UT Austin due to the in-state tuition, but am not sure since I'm didn't get into BHP.

Is Boston College worth it? Is there really a big difference between McCombs regular vs BHP? Please help me choose where to go!

Also, is there any way to get a cheaper tuition rate at BC? As far as I know they don't supply merit-based scholarships (may be wrong)

Can't go wrong with either but I would say UT -- especially with the in-state tuition. McCombs is generally higher across various rankings (ex: US News) and in general I have seen better placement on Wall Street. From an experience standpoint I have friends at both and they all say great things. One key difference is Greek life (BC does not have frats/sororities since it's Catholic, UT has some of the best Greek life in the country), but I'm not sure where you stand there. Definitely something to consider. Weather will also be significantly better in Austin.
