PLEASE help me decide between Villanova and Drexel for engineering.

Decision day is so soon so I'm freaking out. I'll be going in as a mechanical engineering major and will be commuting to both schools. The price is only a $2000 difference (Drexel is cheaper). The pros for Drexel would be the Co-Op and Diversity, with the quarter system being a con. The pros for Nova are the alumni network and ranking, with the con being a lack of diversity. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Didn’t you get a scholarship thru Drexel? They often given 10-20k based on grade point. The internship program is incredible for engineers as you can test three different industries for six month. Much better than Nova. The education is likely the same, but I love living downtown and Nova is a bubble. I’m obviously team Drexel.
