[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.
- [b]Sports and Greek life is relatively weak, but it has very good D1 hockey team and have little bit of everything for everyone.[/b]
- etc.

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

This sockpuppet is getting tiring.

The bolded is one of many reasons this school sucks according to my kid. He wanted football weekends and got to an elite school with great football. We actually appreciated that because we would travel to see him on those weekends. Northeastern is lackluster and sad by comparison.  PS, DC did not apply so don't say we were rejected lol.

I am yet another poster asking for the love of God and all that is Holy:

[b]If you "did not apply", why on earth would you be bothering posting here? [/b]

You do realize the absurdity in claiming you "did not apply", while posting here, I hope?

No wonder Northeastern did not accept you.  LOL.

As the other poster stated: GET HELP.

Wowza.[/quote]

Why must one apply to comment on an anonymous forum about a school?  Who made that rule?  Seriously would like to know.[/quote]
