My daughter was looking at Northeastern and a couple of the ‘elite’ LACs. So many people would say, “oh, those are good schools!” and then when I’d tell them she had chosen Northeastern, they’d say, “oh, that’s nice.”



Down here in south Texas, no one has heard of Northeastern! I tell people PMKjr goes to “Northeastern in Boston”, like it’s all one word because after I said he went to Northeastern, the next question was always “Where is that?”

This has freed me up to plaster my car and wardrobe with Northeastern gear without feeling like I’m being obnoxious. I love it! We’ve given all our friends Northeastern cups and now Northeastern ornaments. Due to the overwhelming amount of Texas A & M gear you see everywhere down here, our friends have started calling us “Boston Aggies.” Makes me laugh every time.
