<p>It’s definitely not a small liberal arts college, but it did feel smaller and more personal than some of the other schools I was looking at that were large research universities (state flagships in the range of 40,000 students). I liked that it was big enough to offer a lot of really great opportunities, but it didn’t feel like I would be lost and just end up being a number.
I was correct in that. I ran into the president of the university at the end of spring semester, and he remembered who I was and asked when I was leaving for Germany! There are definitely ways to make the big community smaller at Northeastern, and Honors is just one of those ways.</p>
