[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NEU is pretty popular, but I think the “you aren’t really able to start at the Boston campus” reality is likely bringing the likeability down.

Boston’s a tough town - you’ve got to want it, be pretty independent and able to figure it out on your own. With the exception of BC, which might be more of a cohesive campus, these campuses don’t offer a traditional experience. DH describes it as Darwinian (he went to BU), and after living there a few years personally, that’s pretty accurate. He did not enjoy his time at BU at all.

Then there’s the weather. [/quote]

What do you mean by tough?  And why independent?[/quote]
NP. I'm not sure what PP meant, but my guess would be that was a reference to Northeast culture, as some people tend to come off a bit more gruff or aloof than in other parts of the country.[/quote]

But not compared to the DC area! We have a beach house in MA and the Bostonians are 100% friendlier than people in our DC area neighborhood. So anyone coming from this area should be used to it. Plus it's college and kids at most of those schools are coming from all over the country.[/quote]

I agree.  Southerners don’t swear a lot or scream at bikers like Boston people but they are the first to stop everything to help you out.  And there are no red hats in sight.  [/quote]
