[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our child accepted ED to NEU, Boston campus.  Living their best life and enjoys classes, friends, and of course the city of Boston.  They are looking forward to co-ops, and trying new things.

There is a college foe every student.  If your child likes NEU, go for it (our child has friends who were accepted to Oakland, Rome and Greece).  And if not, don't apply.  No need to bash someone else's choice[/quote]

Just make certain you fully understand any program that is not Boston Start.  Global scholars means your kid is at the bottom of the list for sophomore housing and may not have housing until July/Aug for the fall and it might not be with anyone they know (if they use the Paws system).  Parents had been told "yes your kid will be eligible for housing all years once on  Boston campus".  What they were not told is that they are treated like 2nd class citizens and do not get to pick with all the other sophomores, but after them.  
Sure your kid could get a place off campus, but how the heck do you do that if you are in London/Oakland and have never lived in Boston?  Who do you live with, as you only know the people in the GS program.

See, that is not bashing.  Just making sure people know details about the non-boston start programs.  If that would bother you or your kid, then it might not be the place for you.
