Thank you, @kiddie. That would be my son. He’s not a NM winner, but his f. aid package combined both merit and need-based and covers more than tuition. I am glad to hear they are doing well. I didn’t know you could go without a meal plan. I know my oldest son at MIT has always had the cheapest meal plan.
Are there creative ways to eat cheaply at or near Northeastern, then? My son isn’t a big eater at all, but I saw mention of sushi on another thread. That’s his favorite food. (And there’s plenty of great sushi here in So Cal, though it’s not cheap)
I would want to find creative ways to get down the cost of the very expensive room and board at NU.
