NEU or Tulane?

We did not look at Tulane so I can’t make the comparison but can offer that my daughter is a freshman at Northeastern and absolutely loving it. She seems very happy with the social scene and has a few different friend groups from different activities that she participates in as well as from her dorm. I do think being involved helps socially. (That’s probably true at all schools though). My daughter was on campus first semester and she did say that the cafeteria is more crowded now that the NUin kids have arrived but it doesn’t seem terrible. The school is still correcting for the over enrollment from last year so I think that crowding will get better each semester. I’ve heard kids love NUin–they come out of it with really strong friendships and they get to take classes without worrying so much about the grades, which seems like a great way to start college.
