It has no business being in the same range as Princeton, Penn, Vanderbilt, Rice, Northwestern.

I don't know what voodoo magic that school is doing. It was a commuter school for cops from Revere twenty years ago.[/quote]

More than twenty years ago.   And cops from Revere and ordinary Bostonians went to Northeastern to become lawyers and work in business.  Since then the school has become more high tech and more well known around the country.

If you think you’re being insulting or witty by sneering at its history then you’re just a mean spirited person.  [/quote]

NP here.  It seems every time NEU is mentioned, it is by an OP whose DC was not admitted. It is not so difficult to figure out that there is an obvious chip on OP's shoulder.

If we are going to talk about past commuter schools - many, many schools, including Harvard, would be included. GMU is  a current commuter school.

NEU has not been a commuter school since the 1950's, when it was also known as a top Engineering school.  NEU has always been a top Engineering school, and also one of the first and best Computer Science Schools, as well. NEU programs are nothing to sneer at, and it is extremely difficult, to be admitted to NEU.  OP seems to be well aware of this, otherwise, why would OP be so persistent about posting false information about NEU, in particular.

OP should know what they are talking about before they post.  There have been other pieces of misinformation that OP has posted about NEU. OP's posts are obvious and incorrect. [/quote]

I don’t know anything about Northeastern and I don’t mean this as an insult, but Northeastern (and Suffolk) were still considered commuter schools when I graduated college in 1996 (I attended a different college in Boston). [/quote]

Welcome to the 21st century.
