[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]speaking of happiness, retention rate and graduation rate would be good measures.

For retention rate, Northeastern is #3 among national universities

For graduation rate, Northeastern is #29 among national universities

It's 21st century, age of data and information.  
Hope you parents and students make good informed decisions. 
Good luck.

Except the NE data is always skewed because they report only for kids who started in Boston freshman year.  The data they report accounts for less than half the kids in a graduating class

I actually have nothing against the school but the posters who continue to tout the incomplete data after being told why it is misleading te super annoying.[/quote]

Do the kids that start in other locations--internationally or outside of Boston have lower credentials ? Is that why they aren't included in the stats?[/quote]

That’s the rumor.  No one can say because zero data is released about them.[/quote]
