[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly do not know of any schools that do not offer study abroad. I do not understand what the big deal is.  OP seems to be carrying a rather crushing grudge. For what?[/quote]

Because normally study abroad programs are the second and third year after some foreign languages prep has taken place. What is new here is that Northeastern is doing it the first term because that allows NE to not report low stats kids and also to play with the yield numbers.  Those practices, plus the rolling put of offers (in the hopes of quick acceptances which will boost yield - a practice some law schools engage in) is what make college counselors say that Northeastern is trying to game the system [/quote]

UVA offers it too

Of course! Schools that are in demand have other options for first semesters or first years. I would think that if they did not, they are failing to keep up with modern times - which would prompt me to wonder where else is the school lacking?  I would also wonder why don't those schools care enough about their students (to have such offerings), or have enough demand, and a need for such programs? Why aren't those schools more popular?

If you are accepted to a school, you do not have to accept their offer, obviously.  If I were admitted to Northeastern, I would be quite proud, since the acceptance rate is quite low.  Of course, those who are accepted to Northeastern are not the ones complaining on this board. [/quote]
