Thanks for the feedback - I think that’s really helpful and I’m glad it was a great experience for your son! She’s very self-motivated, independent student. She does better with hands-on, experiential learning -and it seems NU focuses on that. And she really wants to study abroad at some point -and NU has a number of options for that.
I told her I didn’t think there were any perfect schools - NU offers a lot of what she wants and a few things she probably won’t love. I think that is the same everywhere.
ETA: The overcrowding is really a turn-off for her. We looked at the other Boston schools: BU, BC -but those either don’t have much of a campus (BU) and have too high of a NPC: BC.
