[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The idea that somehow NEU has transformed itself into an elite university should raise a lot of eyebrows.  It is a fine school, but let's not get carried away.

For a more accurate view of NEU, both of these rankings are more reputable than the USNWR.

Times Higher Education 2026 World Rankings
#2 MIT
#5 Harvard
#76 Boston University
#189 Tufts
#201-250 Northeastern

2026 QS World University Rankings
#1 MIT
#5 Harvard
#88 Boston University
#334 Tufts
#384 Northeastern[/quote]

Agree, it is an decent school but one that has simply gamed the USNWR ranking system and appeals to try hards who care too much about attending a "T50" on that list.   It has no reputation internationally and it's domestic reputation is unlikely to be durable through the coming enrollment declines[/quote]

I am really surprised how many NEU boosters are fighting for their life in the comments here. I thought it was universally known that NEU was a bit scammy and yet they were unapologetic about their scrappy sales tactics and "adapt or die" hustle.[/quote]
