Northeastern University Top Questions

Northeastern is a very busy school where you are constantly surrounded by people. If students do not do well in large groups then it is not the school for them. It is also a very active campus with at least ten events always going on so students need to be comfortable participating in a variety of activities.

Any student would be great at Northeastern. The school has excellent programs, professors, and faculty which make the experience extremely beneficial. However, because of the cost of tuition, I would say that any student that would need to pay for the full price of tuition in student loans should not attend. It is difficult to put a price on a quality education, however, there are other options for quality education that cost less money and in turn leave a student in substantially less debt.

If you are not an open-minded person, Northeastern is not for you. We are a very liberal campus where opinions are meant to be shared and we are very accepting of all different kinds of people, but we do not tolerate any kind of hate based on gender, sexuality, or race. If you are not disciplined enough to focus on schoolwork, this school will not be a good fit for you. Northeastern has high academic standards, and schoolwork cannot just be blown off.

If you have no idea what you want to do it can be difficult to find your place, especially becuase students start going on co-op sophomore year Those who want to graduate early (most programs are 5 years with 3 co-op experiences)

Someone who is planning to get in and out of school and dive into professional or graduate studies should not go here, because it is a 5 year school. Also, someone who does not have a plan or attended major should not immediately attend Northeastern, because the school thrives off students with goals and plans for their future. Finally, a student that likes to party very often should not go here, because most people are focused and there aren't many parties happening around campus consistantly.

A person looking for a scholo where there are many parties and not much attention paid to education. This is a very education oriented institution.

This school would not be a good match for someone who doesn't like to be around a lot of people or noise, since it is located in the city and is a fairly large school. Also, if you do not like busy cities you probably wouldn't want to live in Boston.

Very liberal and does not know what they want to do.

Someone who doens't have any goals in life

Someone who is middle class because you will accumulate a lot of debt. Lower class gets financial aid, and upper class pays.

Anyone who wants a good education, and is willing to work for it. Here we have Co-op, which really helps the learning process by putting students in the real world and applying their education. If you're ready to learn, go here.

Some one who does not like the city or big classes.

This is not the kind of university that is equipped to coddle an undergraduate student. While help and assistance is available, a student has to not only know he/she needs it, but also know how to stand up and ask for it. While Northeastern is a great resource for quiet students who want to push their boundaries and force themselves to become a little bit more outgoing, those who are more likely to allow themselves to float awash in the sea that is the student body, would, unfortunately, drown.

Northeastern University is fairly large at 14,000 undergraduate students. If a student wants a smaller university or doesn't want to live in a big city, Northeastern is probably not a good fit. Also, Northeastern puts a lot of emphasis on its 5 year, cooperative education program. So, a student who is in a major that might not need internship or work experience and wants to graduate in four years might be discouraged by the large emphasis on the cooperative education program, even though it is not required.

The type of person that should not attend this school is a person who is not goal-oriented. This school has unlimited resources to build some of the strongest resumes after college. However, if you have no motivation, no determination, you will not take full advantage of participating in what this college has to offer you. It would be a waste of this person's time and money as well as taking the opportunity away from a student who was next on the list for admissions. Northeastern University is a great place for anyone who wants to be here.

People who want just the basic four year school should not go to Northeastern. Even though they offer a four year program without a co-op, the main idea about Northeastern is to have a co-op(s) so that their students have already begun to build their resumes before they graduate.

An introverted person shouldn't attend Northeastern. This university's population could be overwhelming for anyone who is shy or subdued. Also, someone who has no commitment to schoolwork should search for another school. Northeastern prides itself on its academically challenging curricula and its students are willing and able to uphold above average grades.

A person that is serious about research.

Someone who wants a small, close knit community that tailgates for every sporting event. NU is a large campus with plenty of ways to get involved, but its location in the heart of Boston makes its campus interchangable with the city.
