The FINAL Decision

[flylikeaneagle]

Choosing between a Bio PhD program at Northeastern and a BME PhD program at RPI.  Both fully funded with professors of interest, but I'm torn between what might be a more reputable school (RPI) further out of the way and further out of my comfort zone (coming from Boston College) and a school with more connections (NEU) but a less reputable program. 

I hope to specialize in regenerative medicine and eventually go into industry working in R & D or a biotech startup.  

My gut tells me NEU, but I also realize I'm heavily biased toward the familiarity of Boston.  Freaking out a bit sonce decision time is only days away!

Any thoughts?

Does more reputable equal more opportunities after graduation? If so, that's what I'd go for.
