[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]  I believe Northeastern beat Ohio in most of the areas.  [/quote]

Actually I believe you don't know what you're talking about.  Per US News (and fwiw other rankings like Forbes and WSJ are less upbeat on Northeastern)

Expert opinion (peer assessment by educators and administrators):   Ohio State 3.9/5, Northeastern 3.6/5
Best undergraduate teaching:   OSU #54; Northeastern not in top 100
Undergraduate business programs:  OSU #13; NEU #37
Undergraduate engineering programs:   OSU #27, OSU #50.
USNWR ranking among global universities:   OSU #55; Northeastern #194.

Look, Northeastern's a perfectly fine school, and it's popular, especially with kids who want to go to school in Boston or like the coop program, and its mostly talented grads seem to land in mostly good jobs.  So if your kid wants to go there and gets in, great.    But the fact that it's (openly and admittedly) gamed its way up the US News ranking doesn't mean Northeastern provides the same caliber of undergraduate education as its like-ranked peers on that ranking, as the US News data breakdown shows, and as the Forbes and WSJ rankings are even clearer about.   Even if you don't care about that, other readers might.[/quote]

good jobs and good location = sounds like a winner LOL

Forbes - https://www.forbes.com/top-colleges/
Northeastern: #79
Ohio: # 173

WSJ: 
Northeastern: #86
Ohio: #99

Wht about Forbes and WSJ? 
I've been for 2+ years and seldom hear anyone even mention Ohio LOL
You are delusional.
