Northeastern University Top Questions

Northeastern is a very busy school where you are constantly surrounded by people. If students do not do well in large groups then it is not the school for them. It is also a very active campus with at least ten events always going on so students need to be comfortable participating in a variety of activities.

Any student would be great at Northeastern. The school has excellent programs, professors, and faculty which make the experience extremely beneficial. However, because of the cost of tuition, I would say that any student that would need to pay for the full price of tuition in student loans should not attend. It is difficult to put a price on a quality education, however, there are other options for quality education that cost less money and in turn leave a student in substantially less debt.

If you are not an open-minded person, Northeastern is not for you. We are a very liberal campus where opinions are meant to be shared and we are very accepting of all different kinds of people, but we do not tolerate any kind of hate based on gender, sexuality, or race. If you are not disciplined enough to focus on schoolwork, this school will not be a good fit for you. Northeastern has high academic standards, and schoolwork cannot just be blown off.

If you have no idea what you want to do it can be difficult to find your place, especially becuase students start going on co-op sophomore year Those who want to graduate early (most programs are 5 years with 3 co-op experiences)

Someone who is planning to get in and out of school and dive into professional or graduate studies should not go here, because it is a 5 year school. Also, someone who does not have a plan or attended major should not immediately attend Northeastern, because the school thrives off students with goals and plans for their future. Finally, a student that likes to party very often should not go here, because most people are focused and there aren't many parties happening around campus consistantly.

A person looking for a scholo where there are many parties and not much attention paid to education. This is a very education oriented institution.

This school would not be a good match for someone who doesn't like to be around a lot of people or noise, since it is located in the city and is a fairly large school. Also, if you do not like busy cities you probably wouldn't want to live in Boston.

Very liberal and does not know what they want to do.

Someone who doens't have any goals in life

Someone who is middle class because you will accumulate a lot of debt. Lower class gets financial aid, and upper class pays.
