[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It looks like the older mother who hates NEU because her child waa rejected is still trying to churn up hate towards NEU.  Don't know why she can't just leave it alone.

Do they actually reject or do they just accept to different campuses / defer a semester?  That was my understanding.[/quote]

And why would someone be unhappy with a campus in London???? [/quote]

Because perhaps they want to be in Boston?  The year my kid got London/GS, initially there were not enough advanced courses to keep my kid on schedule.  I mean, an engineering major should be taking a math course both semesters of Freshman year---my kid could not.  There were also not the Intro to Engineering courses.  So my kid would have come back to Boston "behind".  Now by April they had added some courses, but it was obvious the plan was still being developed---none of the plan was in place in Late Jan when my kid was admitted via EA.  
 
Also, initially housing was not an option once back to Boston.  So kids who live in London freshman year would be tasked with finding housing themselves for sophomore year in a city they had never been to/lived in.  And you will need a roommate as Boston is not cheap.  Boston is a city where you have to have a broker, you pay 1-2 months rent for the privilege, and you can spend months trying to secure a place near campus (and it's not cheap).  Versus at least NUIn kids can be part of the on campus housing.

It can be a good experience for many kids, and the programs are becoming more defined each year.  But kids should go in asking questions and make certain they understand everything.
