Any feedback or other ideas?[/quote]

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

Northwestern (NU) is not Northeastern (NEU). Their marketing is confusing.  [/quote]

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

[/quote]

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.  [/quote]

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. [/quote]

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

Since National University has the domain nu.edu 
Northwestern should pick a differnet name not to confuse the mass general public.
First thing peole would do to learn about a college is to go to the site.  
When people go to NU.edu it's Natioanl Universtiy.
Northwetern is confusing general public by calling itself NU.  
They should change it to something like NWU

[/quote]

This is such an idiotic take. No one thinks, "Oh, yes, I just discovered a school called Vanderbilt. Let me look it up at vu.edu."[/quote]

Now you know why that PP went to national uni. [/quote]
