<p>So just to mention it to everyone who is stressing about “not fitting in” with everyone else- that is completely absurd. I’ve known plenty of people who did the program and not a single one of them had any issue with it. In fact most of the time they preferred that they did it their way because they made such good friends with their small NU.in. group. No one notices things like spring or fall admit. In most classes you’ll find everyone from second year transfers to freshman to a senior who slacked off. No one is going to be like “oh you only came in the spring? you’re not as smart.” They probably will say, however, “oh wow you already went to Greece, you’re so lucky.”</p>
<p>In my opinion if you want to go to Northeastern and you can afford it (because the price is stiff), then backing out because you’re scared or want the “typical” first semester experience is something you’ll regret. The point of college is not to have a laundry list of experiences that you grew up thinking you’d have based on movies and stories from other people.</p>
