[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD applied (and got in) mostly because she had heard about it from other people and liked the online info sessions. Oh, and no supplemental essays was a bonus.
[b]It's not her first choice b/c she's heard from kids she knows who are there that it's not that fun.[/b] To me, that's not a bad thing. I love that there are no frats/sororities.

There's definitely a herd mentality amongst kids that turns a school hot. You can complain about NE juicing up their rankings but the truth is that now they are attracting a very high caliber group of kids. I have to believe that by being in Boston they attract good profs as well. [/quote]

Out of curiosity, are these kids having a bad social experience or were they just hoping for more of a party school?  My DD definitely doesn't want a big party/Greek school and is intrigued by NU but I would worry about a school that is not fun (e.g., U Chicago)...[/quote]

It's nothing different than any other colleges, and all depends on the kid.
It may not have a huge school spirit with a big football team or Greek Life party scenes but it's got a little bit of everything. 
It has a nice campus and a bunch of clubs you can explore.
It has division I hockey team with a good rivalry going on with BU and BC.

Boston is generally a fun spot for college students.
 
One thing is that if you made some friends, and if their coop is on a different schedule, then you might lose those friends for a year or two.
