I was already an old lady by the time NEU was founded way back in 1898, so they were too late to "steel" my candy. |
Why are you posting on an NEU thread if you hate the school? So bizarre! Maybe the bad weather is making you angry and sad so this is a good outlet for your emotions?? |
I have nothing against NEU. I know some great kids who go there, and I tried to get my daughter to look at it too. |
This is a College and University DISCUSSION board. Tell me booster, why is it that we can have a Discussion for every other college in the USA and weigh both the merits and the cons of those universities, but for NEU, any dissent is labeled by you as hate? |
^ I am the PP you called a DAR grandma. |
Why wouldn't she post if she dislikes NEU? Are you new here? |
NEU is the only one afflicted by a bunch of older, shrill women who can't understand why institutions change over 50 years. The best is the poster whose family has been in Boston for 400 years, thus presumably based on her storied pedigree, she has immensely probative insights into NEU! |
Hey, you said you wanted to hear from some real locals! And you did. I told you I have nothing against NEU. |
^ I am sorry I have not been able to help you. |
I don't think the Boston Brahmin has any idea of how foolish she looks right now...

And? How does that answer my question? And how does that justify the booster’s behavior of name calling, ridiculing, denigrating other posters and or their children? I find it interesting that the dissenters may put down NEU. But the NEU booster puts down people. |
Snark and some trying to derail the thread aside, the question posed by the OP has been answered.
Yes, NEU is popular with parents and students- in 2024- and will continue to be so. Will it ever be T25? No. But solidly in the T75 (out of thousands of colleges) is fine enough. Apply to it. Or not. Your choice. |
STOP HATING ON NEU. |
DP. This. It seems like there is 1 crazy booster out there who keeps bumping the thread but is not interested in any discussion. That's why several here think they are some kind of marketer. Or, very very bored. PS. Would not have posted if it weren't right at the top at the moment. I wish Jeff would just stop the rabid poster who is clearly making the most of free advertising here. |
Let's stop bickering and just state the facts, NEU is now in the same tier as Cornell, Brown, Vanderbilt, Duke, etc. their lower acceptance rate however arguably makes them a contender for top 5. |
