Campus Visit Notes for Northeastern University


Visit Description:

Hot, humid day---impersonal feeling campus. Really could see little reason to attend this school. Too much emphasis on how hard it is to get into-I was left with the feeling that if one was accepted, that might be the ONLY reason to ge here...i.e. it allows one to brag. Might be a decent place but they sure need to slicken up their presentation!!!

Hotel/Lodging Recommendations or Comments:

Downtown Boston-accessible to many schools.

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

Easy to get to via the "T."
