[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the NEU bashers, what makes it overrated? Yes, it USED to be a commuter school and played the game to rise up USNWR rankings, but now enrolls high stat kids from all over the country and has an acceptance rate below 20%.  Poor education? Subpar job placement?  Serious inquiry. My rising senior and I really liked it. Outside a couple of "lottery" schools, it's his first choice. [/quote]

To be frank, it just doesn't have that great of an image. LOTS of kids make fun of it, think of it as the desperate school that gamed the rankings, etc. It's an image issue almost solely since I'm sure it'a good school (though not sure if it's enough to justify the price/hype). We'll see if that image changes a decade or two from now.[/quote]

Wait....it's not a good school because "LOTS of kids make fun of it"???  Well, it seems as though LOTS of kids are applying there, so....

For the record, I have no dog in this hunt but have a friend in Boston who has hired several kids from NEU's design school and raves about them (and says the school has a lot going for it). [/quote]

Northeastern is actually ranked pretty high for Design in the College of Art, Media, and Design.
Good thing is that you can also combine the design major with other deciplines.
