Boston College or University of Notre Dame (Undergraduate)?

Hi. I've been admitted to BC and ND for Economics major (in A&S college). I know Notre Dame is ranked higher in the national ranking, but in various rankings of Economics departments it seems like BC is slightly above ND most of the time. Both schools offered me similar financial aid packages. Where should I go? I am planning on working on the East Coast (NYC, Boston, Philadelphia) or in Europe after graduation. Thank you.

based on where you want to work, would you say Boston College makes a better sense? do you like to commute from South Bend to the NE for networking and interviews?

 

Notre dame is the way better school, but be prepared for religion all up in your face. If you're moderately religious and can deal then ND is the spot. But if you have serious issues with religion being basically everywhere You'll probably want to go to BC.
