Northeastern – Oakland campus. (Formerly Mills.)
D26 opinion: “Campus is pretty, a lot nicer than Stanford. Otherwise, meh. 800 students is way too small for what I want even for freshman year, and I don’t like the selection of majors at this campus, but I did my job by demonstrating interest in NU.” 
D26 parent opinion: Campus is gorgeous, it is just a pleasant relaxing feeling to be in this little green oasis in Oakland. Lots and lots and lots of trees (redwood, eucalyptus, and other trees) and green open space. Buildings are attractive. Most of campus seemed pretty flat, the dorms climbed up a small hill which seemed nice. Dorms are small scale buildings and felt pretty nice inside with lots of windows. There were zero students visible on campus at this time and it felt pretty deserted (which didn’t help my D’s opinion).
We were able to go inside a science lab building which is fairly new and seemed nice. Tour guide showed us some research posters that were taped up in the hallways and emphasized that it is very easy to do science research your first year because the school is so small. If the professors don’t have research that interests you, they will hook you up with researchers at another campus that will work with you remotely, so you don’t miss out on doing research your first year. (Tour guide had an anecdote about a student who did this.)
Tour guide emphasized access to greater bay area. Shuttle bus takes students to BART. School organizes many outings and offers students free tickets to some bay area events. Students are also allowed to have a car. (We live near UCB and it’s about 15-20 min drive from this campus.)
We asked about music (important for my D). This was historically a strength at Mills, and we noted that the music building is one of the biggest buildings on campus. Also Mills had the Center for Contemporary Music which was historically important for electronic music. We asked about this and the tour guide said there wasn’t much of a music program at this time, because “Oakland campus focuses on STEM,” but “students can get together and play music together if they want.” Yeah of course they can do that… 
Anyway, I did not find out what they do in the music building now, because the tour guide did not know.
There was a 30 min admissions presentation. We learned that the Oakland campus has about 800 first year students, and a handful of others. The presenter said that they do not plan to increase the number of students, because they require first years to live on campus and that is the capacity. They do have a list of majors that theoretically you can complete on the Oakland campus, but it sounds like almost all students go to Boston after the first year. This transfer to Boston is guaranteed for everyone. For comparison, the presenter said that the London campus has about 3000 students (she said these were all first years that transfer to Boston for second year, although apparently this was incorrect and only about 1000 of them are first years), while Boston has about 14000 undergrads.
