<p>Thanks to everybody for responding. It sounds to me as though NEU does give out need-based aid. I am still a little concerned though because when I look at</p>
<p>[Northeastern</a> University Tuition, Costs and Financial Aid - CollegeData College Profile](<a href=“http://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/college/college_pg03_tmpl.jhtml?schoolId=456]Northeastern”>http://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/college/college_pg03_tmpl.jhtml?schoolId=456)</p>
<p>under the “Money Matters” tab and compare it with</p>
<p>[Brown</a> University Tuition, Costs and Financial Aid - CollegeData College Profile](<a href=“http://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/college/college_pg03_tmpl.jhtml?schoolId=163]Brown”>Brown University Tuition | CollegeData)</p>
<p>it appears that NEU costs $10-15k more than Brown. Can this possibly be true?</p>
<p>Also, if my D needs to be ethnic, then the aid really isn’t really need-based.</p>
