[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They bring cool speakers (Zadie Smith, etc.) music and theater to the boonies. There’s also an overwhelming choice of clubs and activities. Bigger problem is there’s not time to do a lot if you’re in one of the tougher majors.[/quote]

You can now add in commute time to/from your off campus apartment.

When I was at Tech in the 80's it wasn't that unusual to stay in the dorms your entire 4 years. At least Blacksburg is a fairly safe town so having your college freshman living in an off campus apartment isn't too terrible.[/quote]

This happened to Scripps two years ago. Kids were put up 4-6 in 2-3 bedroom graduate housing 25min off campus. The bus was always late. They weren’t part of the community. Girls be PISSED.  :lol:

And this year Northeastern did the same. Sent their Spring admits kids to Ireland for “study abroad” in Fall. When they got to campus in January, there was no housing so they were put in apartments 15min from campus. Talk about a waste of a year. Better off going to community college. [/quote]

Northeastern has NUin - those “spring admits” are *suppose* to travel abroad their Fall semester. That’s literally the program every year.

That wasn’t the point. It is a money making scheme first off, because they aren’t even taking true classes in Ireland, and the kids are supposed to be guaranteed housing for Spring and they weren’t. [/quote]
