[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is becoming increasingly obvious to me that the haters have never been to Northeastern's campus.

Even the most jaded would be impressed with it. The new buildings are state of the art.  There is green space. The students are vibrant and engaged. It is a remarkable transformation.

On a tour of Boston colleges Northeastern was the one that stood out. BC was over structured and kind of basic. BU lacked a true campus but the tour/info session was good. Tufts was super honest about wanting students who want to go there and show interest in the school.

Lots of good choices.

But if you haven't been on a tour or visit in awhile, I don't think you can understand the vibrancy of the Northeastern campus. [/quote]

In a way, knowing that the NEU hater has never stepped foot on campus, knows nothing about higher education and repeatedly chimes in negatively about NEU shows you something.  NEU and BU are probably the most visited campuses in the entire country where a family will tour one in the morning, and the other in the afternoon.  Ask those who have visited both.  See what their opinion is.  NEU does a great job on their tours.  The campus is vibrant.  The students are smart.  The outcomes are great.  So big surprise, they get a ton of applications.

The absurdity of perjoratively calling it a "commuter school back in the 1980's" as being reflective of its status today is probably lost on the poster.[/quote]
