<p>Please everyone beware this “Tom Sr of Boston” Northeastern/ anti-BU ■■■■■ (he’s probably a 50 yr old adcomm) desparately trying to raise Northeastern’s profile. “TomJr” supposedly went to BU. Interesting…red herring? Review his posts…Q.E.D. Objective? I think not. With NU’s advertisements on the T, TomSrofBoston’s rhetoric and gullible 17 yr olds, Northeastern’s future is bright.</p>
<p>^^WOW!!!</p>

<p>Real mature attitude drcaligari. Yes, I am a Northeastern grad, my younger son is a BU grad. You seem to have something against 50-something people.</p>
