Bostons College vs. University vs. Conservatory

I've figured that a University beats a College...
But could I be wrong?

Yeah I know there's alot of personal qualities in deciding which one to actually go to,
but I just meant in general-which is a higher profiled school between a college and a university.

Um, I live in Boston and I have to say that this is a pretty liberal city.
BC used to be a mostly Catholic college, but over the years it has diversified a lot. It’s a strong liberal arts and good sports college.
BU is in my opinion the better school. It has a very strong music and fine arts department and the courses all around seem more diverse. Everyone I know who goes to BU adores it.
BoCo (Boston Conservatory) is different from those too because it’s obviously a music conservatory. I’ve actually heard (and agree) that New England Conservatory in Boston is the stronger of the two conservatories, but BoCo is still an excellent school.

It really depends on what you’re looking for in a college. If you don’t want a strictly musical setting, I would go with BU. If you want a strong music program, than the only one I wouldn’t recommend is BC, but if you want just a strong liberal arts school, either BC or BU would be good.

Holler!

Boston is also most definitely not a CHEAP city... don't let that sway you too much considering college pretty much handles all the necessities, but just know.

I personally would rather be a homeless, penniless happy person in Boston than a rich, haughty, unhappy person in, well, basically any other city :)

I live in Boston as well and yes. it is VERY liberal. But as far as conservatories go.. I go to BoCo and I don't agree with saying that NEC is better then Boco.. they are really VERY different. If you are looking for a musical theatre program, boco is definitely you're best bet. NEC doesn't even offer one. They have incredible instrumentalist and opera/vocal performance programs.
