My d also looked at BU and Northeastern but upon doing so, decided she didn’t want to be in the city (although she kept Syracuse on her list). We had a bad experience at the Northeastern Open House with the art dept reps - weren’t able to answer anything. Didn’t even know if they gave credit for AP Art HIstory. Sent us to the wrong building (for graphic design) 2 times. We finally gave up. We asked 2 different art representatives (with name tags on so yes, they were official) about graphic design and neither had a clue… I actually liked the campus because it had somewhat of a campus feel, while still giving you access to all the city offers. But my d was turned off and that was that.

We then went to BU and that’s like NYU, just buildings scattered throughout a section of the city. I didn’t know at that time about the lack of NASAD. Saw an art show in one building. Although this environment was right for my d, we know kids who go to BU (not for art) and absolutely love it. My s will be looking for a city school.
