Should Northeastern be T20? Or even T10?

These "fancy" Ivy-plus colleges also don't pull in as many applicants (50,000 for Ivy versus 90000 for NEU). Neither do these other "fancy" Ivy-plus colleges have the problem of too-many-admitted-students who need to be squeezed into hotel rooms. That is a problem that only happens to high-quality "products" like the crowds at the Apple store wanting to buy the latest iPhone. No one waits in a long line to buy a cheap flip phone. Get the picture of how quality and demand go hand in hand? Lets reflect on that a bit.

Yeah. If this is the type of critical thinking typical of NEU students, it should lose its accreditation altogether.

The quality of applicants is pertinent here. People throwing an app at NEU at the click of a button is quite a different story from what you're trying to portray.

Also, I wouldn't characterize a bunch of people agreeing that NEU is overrated to be a positive reflection of the school.

Thought exercise: what percentage of people posting here have received, directly (meaning experienced themselves) an undergraduate education from NEU over the last five years? I’m going to guess less than five percent. Now, how many of those people have also received, directly, an undergraduate education from another college? I’m going to venture zero percent. So…what percent of people posting here can intelligently comment on how good NEU is relative to anywhere else?

NEU poster --enough already. You or your kid chose NEU. Not the choice for many students or families. Let's move on.

Agree...but by the same token, a whole lot of people for whom "it was not the choice" (or, quite possibly, NEU did not give them the opportunity to choose or not choose) need to move on too.

People who go to the (targeted school mentioned by OP, in this case Northeastern) - do not start these kinds of posts, it is the ones who are shunned by the school that start posts. People at the school have no regard fro OP, I think that is what makes the OPs start these threads, obviously.

Because, both sides. The crazies on one side and then the rest of us.

Yes- see the thread “Public Service Announcement” for more on exactly this. Northeastern, Emory, UVA, and Georgetown seem to get targeted the most. Hopkins, Tufts, and Wash U too.

You ignore the third, likely overwhelmingly large, category - people who don't have any stake whatsoever, but opened the thread because of clickbait nature of the title (just as OP intended), read and possibly reacted to the idiocy of the initial post, and periodically returned and posted again because of the sub-par reasoning and critical thinking skills of OP and others/sockpuppets.

It's difficult to let nonsense like this slide sometimes - but I agree, better to not feed the trolls.

Uh huh. That is why you are posting here?

Sure. My friends that went to MIT spend loads of time on DCUM saying how terrible (lesser college) is! Yup. Makes perfect sense. /s.
