Anyone Here Have Student Who Chose Northeastern?

D1 was admitted to Northeastern, but decided to go elsewhere.

One issue was that she wanted less of a big city. She was a bit put off by the careful security measures that are appropriate in Boston. The other issue was the cost. It was too expensive for us.

A year later she changed her major to something that Northeastern does not have. This however was just a matter of luck, and was not anticipated when she was deciding which university to attend.

@DadTwoGirls Thank you for your input. Reasonable concerns, hope she enjoys where she decided to be. We also had a relatively hard time deciding. Anyway, there are so many choices, most of the times you cannot go wrong.

How much can a student realistically get in terms of grants and scholarships for Northeastern?

@864346 Max merit aid is about $30,000/year for NMF’s. Need based aid of course depends on your family’s need.
