<li><p>It has a great engineering school, it has a fantastic co-op program, it is not ranked high because of its co-op program as it takes 4.5 to 5 years graduate, otherwise it would have been ranked top. Go and attend NorthEastern if you have got some scholarship, if not, it is recommended to attend state school if you can not afford.</p></li>
<li><p>No such thing called racism in Boston…NorthEastern is sorrounded by Roxbury where lot of African Americans live, but you are advised NOT to visit Roxbury area as it seems little risky place. google yourself on roxbury - boston. But remember NorthEatern is totally safe as it is also sorrounded by Police Head Quarters and NorthEastern has cops round the clock.</p></li>
<li><p>Boston and Cambridge have lot of colleges, obviously a great place for extra curricular activities. If you want to do Engineering, you should be careful… if you want to party around, because you will have to do lab work and co-op.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Yes, all these kids from MIT, Harvard, BC, BU and NorthEastern will have their own groups and they will have fun. But again…if you want to do engineering, you should not think too much on parties…but you can go once a while.</p>
<p>Hope this helps</p>
