<p>As a Northeastern mom all I can say is “ouch.” </p>
<p>In our case, my son is attending Northeastern on the NMF full tuition scholarship. However, he turned down higher ranking schools that either also offered very generous scholarships or were in-state. We’re always talking about “fit” here and that’s what it came down to for him. </p>
<p>He was also impressed with the fact that Northeastern consistently ranks as the #1 or #2 school in co-ops/internships and job placement. He liked that Northeastern didn’t shy away from the fact that they are preparing you for a career. And, yes, he loves the location. </p>
<p>Even when parents have the money to pay full fare, for some kids the better college isn’t the one down the road, it’s Northeastern. Go, Huskies!</p>
