Northeastern University Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Northeastern University accurate?

Reese

Yes. However it isn't so bad because you can avoid them.

Adrienne

The first stereotype is untrue on the rowdy part and partially true on the invasion of neighborhoods. But when you have a school of 16000 with not enough affordable on-campus housing, what else is going to happen. The girls in uggs stereotype, is ashamedly true for much of the female student population.

Blake

Not really.

Hannah

Yes, but in a good way. We actually have fun here.

Tate

Deep pockets-- sometimes. I know I could never have gone if went for student loans; the price tag IS up there. Overachievers-- maybe. I think there are more students at NU that are serious about school and their careers than aren't.

Rachel

Sorta- not many NEU students ever leave campus. But the school is diverse and the students are definitely really smart.

Marie

The abundence of rich kids (at least materialistic) are so obvious on campus, whether it be from their parents or money made on co-op

Abby

True for some people, but for the most part the student body is pretty diverse.
