Campus:

---

Met up with a few students through facebook and got another impromptu meeting and tour with some of them after the official admissions office tour.

---

Bouve staff members were extremely informative and helpful.

---

Very nice for an urban campus. It really had a campus feel (like UC Berkeley) compared to Boston University.

---

Very clean and well-maintained. Campus was easy to get around and we were able to spend more time exploring after the general tour.

---

Visited dorms in Light Hall, Stetson West and West Village. Pretty nice for an urban campus where real estate is at a premium. Northeastern tour guide said that on-campus housing is guaranteed for the first 3 years which is far better than many other col

---

Amazing - Lost wallet and it was turned in with everything in tact. Campus security officers and staff were extremely helpful.

---

Excellent choice for many students, especially for those wishing to have the cooperative experiential learning experience.

---

Off-Campus:

---

Two T-stops on campus and two more within walking distance. Easy to get anywhere from Northeastern on the T including Logan Airport.

---

Boston - can't get much better than that!

Campus Visit Notes for Northeastern University

Visit Description:

Other notable information: You can get your bachelor's degree in either 4 or 5 years with 1-3 coops, but you only pay tuition for 4 academic years even if you choose the 5 year route. The food was above average in our experience with other college cafeterias. Freshman in the health science majors (nursing, pharmacy, physical therapy) get their courses seeded in the first year so there is no worry about getting the classes you need in sequence to complete the program as long as you pass all the courses you are given. NEU staff have been extremely helpful on-campus and over the phone. You get the feeling of a smaller college by the attention and support the give to the new students.

Hotel/Lodging Recommendations or Comments:

Anything near a T stop makes it easy to get around.

Other Comments (Transportation, local attractions, parking, etc.):

No need for a car - flew into Logan Airport and took the T everywhere.
