[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is about to graduate from Northeastern in a few weeks.  Took him 4 years, including 2 co-ops (so only had classes for 6 semesters, plus a one month summer program).  Its been a great experience for him, and he's found his peers to be bright and ambitious.  Its not for everyone (and its not easy to get into, especially Boston), but for the right person, its a fantastic program.[/quote]

So it's more of a vocational school?[/quote]

Seems like it. I've come across no reviews from my research students that describe it as intellectual, rigorous or stimulating. Just a lot of info on co-ops and how to go about getting them. I think it has a more practical, vocational spirit?

Students at Northeastern are descrobed as bright, motivational, intellectual, and independent.

It might be helpful to have stats on ALL admitted students, instead of just Boston. Why not publicized those?[/quote]

Because it would expose the school and reduce their ranking.  They don't want to be a 30-40% acceptance rate school and go to absurd lengths to build that illusion.[/quote]
