[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to NU and the weather/dark definitely makes winter quarter tough.  I had a couple professors in STEM who were frankly a bit nuts.  Like class average on an exam in an advanced class was a 12 nuts.  Their career office was terrible and gave a lot of outdated advice.

I mean and the cost is insane.  It's doubled since I went there in 2010. I got financial aid, fortunately, but they did drop my grant lower every year so my initial calculations for what I would owe were off.

Ultimately I had a great time there, as did my spouse who I met there.  But every school has its quirks and no school is perfect for everybody, it's about fit.  [b]I'm not going to be pushing NU on my kids, if they go for it, great, but if they find somewhere else thing think would fit better, great.[/b][/quote]

Thank you for sharing your experience.  Everyone around me seems to be a rabid fan of their alma mater - and particularly if they met their spouse at their alma mater - so your honest take is refreshing.  The part you said at the end is a good reminder for everyone.[/quote]
