Northeastern University Top Questions

What kind of person should not attend Northeastern University?

Aaron

Someone who is not prepared for to be in a "melting-pot" environment (academically speaking).

Yvenelle

Anyone atypical to achieving the American dream. It is apparent that the general student body here at Northeastern, is about getting above and beyond. We are driven individuals seeking a better life for ourselves and prospective families. If you are not career oriented, willing to pull a few all-nighters, or simply not about anything....do not attend! You will be wasting your money!

Anyone who's looking for a lot of school spirit should definitely not attend Northeastern University. School spirit is very lacking here and there are not many events that promote it other than homecoming and even that is not all that fun. Also, anyone who likes organization within extracurricular activities should avoid this school. Because of co-op, many of the clubs here are not very organized and there's a very high leadership turnover. Advertisement for many clubs is terrible. For many of the clubs, most people don't know they exist.

If you do not know what you are interested in, Northeastern is not for you. Paying the tuition to go here to discover what you want is not advisable. If you do not put effort or interest into your classes, the professors will not put effort into you.

Christine

One who isn't motivated to prepare for their career. This school has a program called co-op where basically you go on a 6 month internship in your field of study and you aren't required to take classes at that time. But you are still considered a full time student. Most students go on three internships and because of this, students who go to college only to party should not attend. These internships provide so many opportunities and students who plan to take advantage of them should attend.

Libia

Someone who doesn't care to take advantage of the opportunities the school offers, if you don't care I'm positive there are plenty students out there dying to be able to do what you could do here.

Elizabeth

Diverse, anyone could attend. Have to like Boston though

Chloe

lazy people who cant look beyond surface ideas

Patricia

Someone that enjoys living in the city and does not mind being in larger classes where there might not lways be alot of teacher to student contact unless you make the effort. Also, someone who wants to be involved or be social since the social aspect is a big part whether its going out to bars, shopping in the city, going to museums or being involved as a Northeastern Husky and supporting sporting events!

Erica

Narrowminded and shy people should not attend this school.
