He went to Harvard but is now going to BU.
Is that a step down from Harvard? I am not too familiar with New England schools outside of the Ivies. Is BU a well regarded school?
Would he be OK with a BA from Harvard in Economics and Masters in City Planning from BU?
Does that sound like a winning resume? I worry about him and hope that he is making the right decision. With this turbulent economy will employers really care?
BU is a great school and it is pretty hard to get in. So what did BU offer him? WHy did he deside not to go to Harvard? Your brother must be very smart and have SAT score to pull off getting into both schools. Urban Planning can be a very rewarding field, but it can have alot of bureaucracy.
