Northeastern University Top Questions

Sometimes the student body seems very large and it's unlikely that you will run into the same people again if you do not have classes or activities together.

The large, varied population makes it difficult to find close friends. It is easy to feel alone at Northeastern which can be hard for freshmen to deal with. One must really make an effort to meet new people with similar interests if they aren't lucky enough to find close friends at orientation or in their dorms.

The only thing I don't like is that there are so limited options with the meal plan.

The worst thing about Northeastern is its naivete. We are a very successful school and that deludes us into thinking we are the most successful school, pr will be soon. Northeastern's ranking in the U.S. News & World Report shot from outside the top 100 to 42, inside a decade, but the competition is much thicker now and Northeastern's relatively smaller endowment and younger traditions make it a featherweight candidate by these heightened standards of merit. Instead of letting our inevitable plateau disillusion us, we should focus on entrenching what we have--but our naivete prevents us.

The worst thing about Northeastern University is a tie between the unpredictable weather and the lack of tables on the second floor of Snell. Also be sure to keep good ties with the financial aid office.. the nicer you are the more help you get!

There is honestly nothing bad that I can say about Northeastern, I've had nothing but good experiences here and I would reccommend it to anyone.

Smokers standing outside of buildings. Northeastern is a very "green" school, I wish they would do something about the kids who stand right outside doorways and smoke cigarettes.

Some of the classes are WAY too big - I've had a class of 300. Also, the campus is large and it can be difficult to get to class on time if you have two back to back and they're far from each other (there's only 10 minutes between classes).

The worst thing about Northeastern is the price because you will be in so much debt once you graduate. It's making me re-think going to school here because of all the debt I've accumulated over the year that I've been here.
