[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Northeastern does it! They keep buying new colleges. [/quote]

And the quality at NEU is dwindling, there are issues.  More and more kids cannot find coops---despite applying to 200+ jobs.  These are kids with 3.5+ gpas, they are doing the "formula" and the jobs just are not there and part of the issue is there are too many students and the university has not widen their footprint for coop employers.  
Kids also are having more and more troubles getting the courses they want, because everyone without a coop registers for classes, in the past most would drop the courses when they got their coop, thus opening spaces.  Well that isn't happening, so kids cannot get the courses they need.  
Then let's discuss taking singles and making them doubles, and taking doubles and making them triples...all so kids have ~65 sq ft to call their own...that's smaller than many parking spots.    
NEU is a prime example of growing too fast without enough planning.  Because most of the kids that start at the "new campuses" want to be in Boston and will end up there, even if NEU wants them 4 years at the new campus.[/quote]

This is such a peculiar, passionate and inaccurate statement.  I know students at Northeastern that were the top of their high school class, so there is no "dwindling quality". They are happily employed, thanks to Northeastern.  I don't know where you are getting your incorrect information, but you seem to be on quite a crusade. The dorms at Northeastern are nice too, and I have heard no complaints from my friends children, who attend.  There is no "four years (assigned) at the new campus", unless the student elects that option, which some have (who wouldn't?).

You seem terribly set off and angry about a school that did not accept you. I trust your posting incorrect information is not going to help your state of mind. [/quote]
