Northeastern University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Northeastern University? Why?

Caitlin

The worst thing about my school would be the grounds in the fall and winter. The leaves are wet on the pathways and make them slippery and snow is not always promptly removed. Drainage is pretty poor too and there are many puddles around campus.

Margaret

One of the worst qualities of Northeastern University, in my opinon, is that it is an open campus, with 2 public transportation systems located on campus. This can be very convienent when you want to get somewhere, but also allows anyone in the city of Boston access to our campus, our library, and our dining hall facilites. It is sometimes considered a safety issue, however our saftey officers are very good, and reliable. however because anyone can walk on campus, there are a lot of beggars, and con-artists who pester you for money.

Kate

The worst thing about Northeastern is the enormous cost. It's a great school to attend, especially because of the cooperative education work program, and Boston is an awesome city to go to school in, but it is very expensive and the average student is bound to leave with large amounts of loans.

Katherine

The worst part about Northeastern is that when you need to find out something you are often shuffled around campus to find the person you really need to talk to.

Amelia

You have countless advisors that tend to shuffle you around instead of getting a direct answer.

Laura

It can be dangerous being in a city.

Abbey

I think that the worst thing about my scholl is the stress of being in a bunch of classes that all have very intense class loads.

Nina

The worst thing about my school is that it is not like another college when it comes to sports and school spirit. We are in a city and campus life does not revolve around campus because there is so much to do in the surrounding areas. So it is unlike large state schools in that aspect that there are other people living around you that are not students.

Christy

Since it's located in a city, sports aren't that big of a deal here. Some people go to the games but it's definitely not a focus. Sometimes I wish there was more school spirit when it comes to our sports teams.
