[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe Boston will fade away and become a rotting urban zombie battle zone, but for right now:

The rest of the world, like China, India, Korea, Japan, UK, Germany value a US education. Especially in STEM areas.

And Boston is their Mecca, with UC's their Al Aqsa.  So schools like BU and Northeastern will be around for a long, long time.[/quote]

Haha.   Everyone wants Harvard and MIT. But Northeastern?  It's dropping back to reality.  The illusion of the commuter college climbing the rankings with no endowment and a five-year plan for everyone is over. [/quote]

I don't think you are familiar with the sbject at all and stuck in the 70s. BU has been very popular to international students. NU's popularity has been rising rapidly as well.  In fact a complaint is that they allocate too many seats for international students.[/quote]

It seems the PPs/OP complaining and have inaccurate information about NU, have kids at other current commuter schools, perhaps.  Best to not let your DC know how you really feel.

NU has been popular with students across the globe since at least the 70's-80's, but OP Troll would never admit that, nor have occasion or experience to know. NU has traditionally been known for their engineering (since the 50's, if not before), and since (at least) the 80's, computer science. It has strong respect in the nerd arena, across the board. IYKYK. BU has traditionally been known for their communications major, and BC was/is more of an LAC, traditionally.

BC also likes their athletes (swim and soccer, especially - so that is promising with those who have DC athletes). Alternatively, NU has eliminated their entire football team, not so long ago.  Just adding some truths, so that parents will be better informed on this board, instead of mislead by those with a chip on their shoulder.

For those who are in academia, as well as those in engineering, the (3) schools are rarely (if ever) compared, since the only thing they have in common is a location in Boston.  That is how one can tell a troll post (ahem) from a non troll post, as there will be other troll posts, predictably.

Good luck to the parents who are waiting to hear good news on behalf of their applicant DC.  May you find reliable sources to guide their way. [/quote]
