Northeastern is wonderful if you have the motivation and ambition to find your way. You can accomplish a lot - for me it was working in a Pharm Sci lab and getting the chance to publish. Co-op is also a great experience to learn life skills as well as where you fit.

Co-op, Dialogues and other international opportunities, as well as the ability to decide what you want to do when you want to do it, are enough reasons to love Northeastern. Yes, like all administrative structures, there is a 'shuffle' when you need to do something or simply want to, and you might be met with obstacles. However, if you are motivated enough, the right support is available and it is certainly possible to do all you want to get the most out of your education here.

If I could do it (the college admissions process) all over again, I 100% would. I am from Massachusetts, so all my life, people have told me to go to Boston for college. Because of the opportunities I would get at Northeastern, I chose to come here. Everyone comes here for the co-op; if they say anything else they are lying. For my major (Speech-Language Pathology), we are only allowed to have one co-op, it has little to do with our major unless you're one of the two people doing Audiology, and some are not even paid. My major feels completely neglected at this school, especially since we have basically no study abroad opportunities and thats another huge draw for people to Northeastern.

As for the students, I was shocked at what I found. Most everyone is extremely liberal, so if you are even slightly conservative I really think you should be hesitant about coming here. People are ignorant and all went to expensive private high schools. Most people come from wealth here and are pretty spoiled. Most people here are hipster and bizarre, so being average is pretty abnormal. The rest of the people are international and are either rude or don't speak english. The smoking issue on campus is disgusting; for someone who is fairly conscious about their health, I feel like I am slowly dying here because of the abundant cigarette smoke. Also, everyone smokes weed here. I can never sleep because people party outside my dorm window until the early morning every single night, and my RA is on co-op and is never here so my hallway is insanity. For the amount of debt I am already in and the amount of money I am paying to be here, I am really regretting my decision. I wish I expanded my horizons more when looking for colleges. I am looking to transfer for my sophomore year because I can't afford to be miserable here for the next four years.
