Overrated:
NYU (yuck)
Berkeley (horrible off-campus housing & undergrads rarely benefit from those superstar profs)

It might have made some improvements since its recent lowbrow commuter college history, but among all of the many schools in the Boston area, it isn't ever going to shed that downmarket connotation. This isn't even about academic reputation: if Northeastern were a person, it would be a raspy-voiced waitress who chainsmokes and feeds her kids Tater Tots and Mountain Dew.
I’m being serious. What is wrong with Tater Tots?
That old woman has a serious mental illness.
Ignore.

If anything, it's actually pretty underrated.
It's not just some improvements. All major metrics rival T20 25 schools.
It has a proud history of supporting and providing to working class unlike other schools that have a history of catering to rich Whites if that's what 'commuter college history' means.
