I'm much more interested in undergraduate education. Law school and those Nobel prize association have nothing much to do with undergrad. I believe Northeastern beat Ohio in most of the areas. If Ohio instate tuition vs NEU full pay = Ohio All others = NEU |

You seem unfamiliar with college. The quality of faculty has everything to do with undergrad education. They are the experts who can teach the real knowledge, instead of just telling students to read a textbook or watch Youtube. The top faculty are world experts, and the best junior faculty and Ph.D. students come to work with them. These junior faculty and Ph.D. students do most of the undergrad teaching. Pick any academic area, and we can compare Northeastern to Ohio State or similar schools. The current chairman of Northeastern's finance department got her Ph.D. from Ohio State. The Accounting chairman's Ph.D. is from Penn State, and Marketing is from University of South Florida. Can you find senior faculty from those schools with Ph.D.'s from Northeastern? No! |

And despite your lack of confidence in the quality of professors and undergraduate education, NEU will probably get 100,000 applications this admissions cycle. |

What's your methodology? |

Opinions don't require methodology. OP - go to CC and check out there. |

Considering a large percentage of the undergraduates go through a co-op, I would assume that students are more interested in making their "fortune" in the professional world rather than the classroom. |

LOL No, you are delusional. They don't teach undergrad students in that huge overcrowded public school. The quality of faculty who teach undergrad students has everything to do with undergrad education. The industry knows the best about quality of the education outcomes. Talk is cheap, but when you actually have to spend your money, people get serious and objective. https://poetsandquantsforundergrads.com/rankings/best-undergraduate-business-schools-business-school-rankings/4/ Best Undergraduate Business School based on Career Outcomes Data & Results Northeastern #14 https://www.collegetransitions.com/dataverse/top-feeders-engineering Top Feeder to Enigneeing Industry Northeastern #10 https://www.collegetransitions.com/dataverse/top-feeders-tech Top Feeder to Tech/IT Northeastern #14 etc. etc. That's why it's popular and no wonder. |

Don't educate these ignorant people who so obviously come here to pick on whatever schools they don't know.
There are posts on the same exact schools almost each week. Let them look up the history - same arguments, same nonsense. They don't know what they are missing (pertains to many schools, not just this one) and they are PISSED. Let them be! |

That list excludes MIT, Caltech, Brown, Rice, UC Berkeley, UCLA, Penn State, and University of Florida. The Northeastern fans just cite incomplete, superficial, and biased rankings. They never discuss quality of faculty, students, scholarship, or teaching. They are obviously not looking for the same thing as most DCUM posters. |

Caltech, Brown, UCLA, don't have undergrad business. Rice started one like a couple of years ago? The school basically meets financial needs just like any other school. In fact the average cost is less than many of its peer schools in the Boston area. Northeastern Students are 25th in smartness according to this, https://www.businessinsider.com/the-50-smartest-colleges-in-america-2016-10#25-northeastern-university-average-sat-1435-26 This is before the pandemic when test was required. Yes, having intelligent peers is important. These smart students must be very satisfied with teaching and faculty quality hence it's top in retention rate https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities/freshmen-least-most-likely-return How do you game this? Threaten the students not to leave? Compare all these to Ohio. What do you look for? What you look for should be backed by some references and sources. You just believe what random people here tell you? |

Actually I believe you don't know what you're talking about. Per US News (and fwiw other rankings like Forbes and WSJ are less upbeat on Northeastern) Expert opinion (peer assessment by educators and administrators): Ohio State 3.9/5, Northeastern 3.6/5 Best undergraduate teaching: OSU #54; Northeastern not in top 100 Undergraduate business programs: OSU #13; NEU #37 Undergraduate engineering programs: OSU #27, OSU #50. USNWR ranking among global universities: OSU #55; Northeastern #194. Look, Northeastern's a perfectly fine school, and it's popular, especially with kids who want to go to school in Boston or like the coop program, and its mostly talented grads seem to land in mostly good jobs. So if your kid wants to go there and gets in, great. But the fact that it's (openly and admittedly) gamed its way up the US News ranking doesn't mean Northeastern provides the same caliber of undergraduate education as its like-ranked peers on that ranking, as the US News data breakdown shows, and as the Forbes and WSJ rankings are even clearer about. Even if you don't care about that, other readers might. |

You are a funny clown SAT Northeasetrn: 1430-1550 Ohio: 1250-1440 ACT Northeastern: 33-35 Ohio: 26-32 Acceptance rate Northeastern: 6.7-18% Ohio: 57% Retention Northeastern: 98% Ohio: 94% 6 Year Graduation Rate Northeastern: 90% Ohio: 86% 6 Year Out Median Salary(DoE) Northeastren: 80K Ohio: 55K This is not even funny. You are going too far. Ohio is clear a step or two down. I'm sure Ohio is a good school in Ohio for Ohioans. Keep it there. |
