[quote=Anonymous]It's a combination of many good things that makes the school popular.

- Great urban location, there are ton of kids who prefer good urban location. Boson is also one of the most popular
- Relatively cohesive nice modern looking campus for an urban location
Our family of 5 visited the four peer schools - Tufts, Boston College, Boston Univ, and Northeastern Univ, and Northeastern was top choice for all of us for the location + campus combination.
- Satisfaction level based on retention rate. It's like top 5 among national universities.
- Good balance. The school pay much attention to CS, Engineering, Science and other STEM areas, but also very strong in Business, Art & Design, pre-med, and other areas. It's well rounded unlike other Engineering heavy schools
- Outcomes. Coop program contributes to this, but ultimately outcome is great on par or better than many T25ish schools
- Quality of student body - smart, intelligent, independent, motivated, top notch, most of them have stats for T25ish schools.
- Sports and Greek life is relatively weak, but it has very good D1 hockey team and have little bit of everything for everyone.
- etc.

It's not one or two factors that can make a school popular.
