what's the typical NEU student?

I’m a freshman at Northeastern and I don’t know the first thing about sports.

There are a lot of students at NEU that work hard in hopes of pursuing graduate/law/med school in the future. I myself am a pharmacy major and hope to advance to medical school later. Additionally, many of the recitation leaders are current grad students at NEU, so they are a great resource to consult.

I came from a high school where I was always at the top of my class. NEU is definitely a change of pace; there are students that work harder than I do and students that don’t work as hard. I can’t say that all of my classes are exactly intellectually stimulating, but it’s important to note that I took a few intro/101 classes. I’m appreciating the good grades/gpa boost and bracing myself for the hard courses that are to come in the future.

Lastly, I don’t think I’ve heard very many people complain about the financial packages they received. I received a generous merit scholarship and many of my friends received a lot of merit scholarships, grants, and loans.
