Although the extremely cold winter does pose a challenge for students who have never experienced an east-coast winter, the worst thing about Northeastern is the abundance of cliques and the elitist behavior of many of the students. Boston is certainly nowhere near as friendly and welcoming as the South or as laid-back and relaxed as the west-coast and so to students from those parts of the country, the locals can seem as cold as the weather.

The worst thing about my school is that sometimes if you have a paperwork-type question, it is difficult to find the right office or person to speak to in order to get your question answered.
Jenna
The worst thing about my school is the quality of lab instructors.

The worst thing about Northeastern University is the size of the school. Being a large university in the city makes it hard to stand-out and become part of the college community. However, you are still able to develop a close group of friends and the small class sizes make it possible to work one-on-one with your professors. A smaller university enables the college to unite, but at Northeastern the outstanding athletics and large group of organizations bring the student body together in an energetic and spirited environment.

The career services center was pretty worthless to me. They only really help the business and science majors, and are completely lost about what to do with anyone looking for jobs in a creative field. When I went there for advice, the counselor actually showed me how to use google instead of giving me career suggestions. Her suggestion was to type in my interests and see if the internet would find the job for me, when what I was really asking her was what kind of career fields I should pursue based on my education.

The worst thing about this school is again the financial aspect. The school gives great financial aid but then they also do not make it clear as to how much total will have to be paid. Everything else at the school is pretty much great.

Every student attending Northeastern University has experience the 'NU Shuffle.' This refers to when a student has a problem, question, or concern and gets the run around from multiple administrators or it takes way too long to get an answer.
Brianna
The worst thing about my school is that it's so big so you hae too many options at times and cannot get involved in as many activities as you'd like because there is not enought time in the day.
Chelsea
the advising system, because the school is so big

Northeastern University is an amazing school but if I had to choose one thing that was bad about my school it would have to be the fact that the meal plans are very expensive and that the housing is also expensive.
