[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be honest, I'd be embarrassed to be going to NEU or sending my kid there. The amount of ridicule it gets both by parents and students alike is astounding. Jury is out on whether that's justified, but there is something to be said about the insane boosterism, marketing, exploitative practices, and general air of arrogance I've seen exhibited by some NEU alums who are constantly claiming that it's an elite school.[/quote] It's pretty embarrassing that you would be embarrassed by that, frankly. People sneer at every college. If you went to Virginia Tech, people would sneer at you for going to a cow college with 75%+ acceptance. If you go to Cornell, people will sneer at you for going to the "worst" college. With Harvard it's "overrated" and MIT is "nerds". Etc. etc. If you live life based on what people sneer at, you are going to live a pretty pathetic life. [/quote]
