Possible candidates: Northeastern, U of Miami, Villanova, BU, BC, Wake Forest, Lehigh, LMU, USC, Santa Clara

Any feedback or other ideas?


NU engineering is super tough to get into - always has been, just be forewarned, OP.


Northwestern (NU) is not Northeastern (NEU). Their marketing is confusing.


no, https://www.nu.edu/




They may be trying to change to NU from NEU, but ask most people who are familiar with Top 50 universities, and NU is Northwestern.


Northeastern has been NU since at least the 70's. But let's not make this thread about that, shall we? Since it is obviously one of the schools that DCUM likes to go off on.


Not in a national sense. It would just make it easier if people used something else because everyone associates NU with Northwestern.


in a natioanl sense, general public don't give a shit about colleges and its names.
We had 20 Johns in my high school.
Use it in a context and it'll be fine.
NU = Northeatsern in this thread and context.




Np, NU is northwestern, NEU is northeastern. When you are wrong, accept it and move on. Don’t be a di*k.


NO NU is National Universtiy = www.nu.edu
Accept it.



WTF is National University?


Don't you have internet access??

Take any school in a red state off that list

If she gets any healthcare issue that is Gyn related she could die. And by the way 18 years of age you are not going to rescue her. They already have state lawyers in hospitals and they are not there to represent your kid.

Any parent sending a daughter to red states shame on you. W hat do you possibly not understand about women bounty hunters or not allowing a female to leave the state. These are facts gop legislators those states have already have the legislation it will stand

By 2024 women and minorities will be hosed in red states pay attention people scotus is going to burn the country down

It will be red vs blue

Not in a national sense. No pun intended. Let's stop picking at semantics. It's about clarity. Northwestern has been a nationally known entity, referred to as NU for short for ages. No one here refers to National University. Those referring to Northeastern should use neu or something else for clarity's sake.

Now, any other ideas about engineering? I have a dd interested in ocean or environmental or mechanical or civil. But, also lijes writing and theatre.

Right internet is internatinal sense. People all over the world go to NU.edu and will get confused.
Northwestern better change its name.

Exept for a few schools like Harvard MIT Standford Yale Princeton, no school has natioanl sense.
Northeasern is probabaly more konw in the Boston/Northeast area.

She has taken several times already and is getting burned out on retakes.


Op, I say this as an engineer but engineering is hard. Some would even say it's very hard. If your daughter's top test score is 32, I'd select a school that offers variety of majors in case she changes her mind. Most kids usually change majors anyway. Don't be single focused.



+1 and this is the very reason my Dc is going to Wake - to have a chance to switch majors if it does not work out.

NU is known nationally. Not the National Uni but the "other one".

Did you go to National Uni or do you have a kid attending there? Is it a for-profit school?

Why are you so obsessed with the abbreviation?
Several schools go by NU, and one school actually owns the internet name.
