<p>Exactly what they said. My daughter is a freshman and loves it. We toured the campus to make sure it was a good fit. It is an award-winning campus (twice) and feels like college. It is not like GWU in DC or like BU. However, there is city around it. It’s more like USC in LA< except the mass transit in Boston rocks.</p>
<p>I recommend trying to get into their honors program, if they offer it to you. All honors students live in a brand-new dorm called International Village right next to the Ruggles T-stop. And, NU has tunnels that lead from some of the buildings to others, so in the winter you can stay out of the snow between classes. There are no businesses on campus that aren’t shops or eating places for the school.</p>
