[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Boston locals say this was more like a Community College a few decades ago. I'm upset my kid has made the decision to attend the school over Virginia tech because it is just not worth the sticker price. Gaming the rankings, inflating acceptance rates with global program do leave a sour taste in the mouth but kudos to Aoun for getting the job done.[/quote]

Boston locals are definitely the best source of information about the school's past.  It was a commuter college back in the 1970's.  It had no right to get better.  I mean, why couldn't it just stay a commuter school like Boston College?  Because it made a decision to become a world class university with an SAT average of 1500, acceptance rate under 6%, universally great outcomes in engineering, comp Sci, business, ed admissions, law school admissions, we need to save people from going there.

Let's start with your child.  Convince him he is about to joint a cult!  Maybe bring him to someone that can deprogram him!!  There are definitely some message posters on DCUM that could help you with your deprogramming!  Your child might be a little aprehensive, but one of the prospective deprogrammers who posts on every DCUM page about NEU has many cats. She could bring one to your first session to lower the stress level before you begin!  [/quote]
