<p>And yeah, we definitely need alums to donate. Once a school’s endowment grows, everything else falls into place. I also commented on the BU thread. Like you said, BU really hasn’t change. It’s the same old BU. Is that a bad thing? Not really. But schools like Fordham have constructed new dorms for the fall. Its probably trying to change the fact that 25% of its freshman still commute. However, I believe Northeastern will be in 50s next year. With the new colleges, more faculty and better students academically, all we need is a bigger endowment to become an even better school. I wonder if Northeastern is going to change the methodology it uses to see how many freshman will be join the next entering class? A higher ranking probably will make people think more about Northeastern and imagine a freshman class of 4000 rather than 2800. That would definitely be an issue when it comes to space.</p>
