Northeastern University Top Questions

What kind of person should not attend Northeastern University?

Sara

You should not attend this school if you are not prepared to spend money. Things are expensive on and off campus especially because you are in a city.

Micah

Somone who is dependant on high school rules to keep them afloat. Boston is a city, a decent sized one. It is easy to get lost in the freedom and independance of it all. Need to be a fast learner of how to walk the street.

Mariel

Someone who is intolerant of others culture, religion, race, sexual orientation, political views or ideas. Someone who wants a peaceful and quiet surrounding area, because although our campus is beautiful and spacious on the inside, we are right in the middle of a great city.

Stefanie

A person who is not ready to live in a city environment and truly take control of their own future should not attend this school. When it comes to being decisive about a career path and academic program the faculty and staff are helpful advisors, but the decision really comes down to the student. It's a great place to make tons of new friends, so someone who is unwilling to interact with new people in a busy and exciting environment probably would not be truly happy at this school.

Nick

A stduent who likes sit around all day and skip classes would not fit into my university very well. A student who likes to sit in class passivly will not enjoy the interactive classes we have. Northeastern University is a welcoming place with a strong student community of motivated students who are driven in their social and academic lives. Our university is in Boston, literally in its backyard. A person who is closed minded or not used to hearing the pulse of the city may not like living so close to one.

Tyler

You should not attend Northeastern University if you don't prefer a fast-pace life in the city. Boston is a great walking city with lots to do and see.

Sabine

People with no set goals in mind, and just want to party. It rwould be a waste of money to attend.

C.

A student who is unable to shoulder financial debt

Brittany

Someone looking for a small, intimate, community feel would not benefit from Northeastern. I actually transferred from a very small liberal arts college, and it is a huge change! If a student is looking to know everyone in their major, get to know their faculty really well, or even have an open-door policy in their dormroom, it is more difficult to find these connections at a school like Northeastern. Your groups of friends are much smaller, and there is less of a community feel in the dorms.

Cyndee

Someone that is not motivated or driven to advance thier knowledge
