Campus Visit Notes for Northeastern University


Visit Description:

Northeastern was not on my original list but I was so glad I visited the school. I love the Co-Op program offered at the school. Mom shared that it was the first in the country so they have it "together!" They will help with placement wherever you would like to go.

The Admissions person gave a very informative presentation and the tour was wonderful!

I have the opportunity to play Div. I softball and have several offers for scholarships. This school does not offer softball, but it has so much more to offer it is on the top on my list! Softball is my love, but education is my life. Northeastern offers a sound education with the excitement of Co-Op opportunities.

Hotel/Lodging Recommendations or Comments:

Plenty of places to stay.

Dining/Restaurant Recommendations or Comments:

Plenty of great restaurants! Minutes from Harvard Square.

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

Great transportation. The "T" in right there! It is better to park and ride the "T" or on a nice day...walk!
