Transferring to NU was the best thing IPolitical Science
Transferring to NU was the best thing I ever did - the poli sci professors I had were top notch and set me up for a great career down the line. The co-op program game me a solid resume by the time I graduated, helped me pay for school, and through it I learned (before getting 50k+ in debt) that law school was not for me. I worked somewhat hard in the honors program and did lots of independent studies with professors - this experience, co-op experience & recommendations got me into Ivy League for grad school. Like others have said - no hand holding here, but GREAT opportunities. And the campus ROCKS now (it was pretty gloomy when I was there)! If you are thinking about NU, go for a visit & see if you can sit down with professors (during office hours) who are currently teaching classes you think you'd like to take - also talk to random students in the Ell student center to see what they think.

Question
Nobody holds your hand, not only does theBrightSocial Work
Nobody holds your hand, not only does the excellent co-op program give you real life experience, but so does the campus, with the NU shuffle and other headaches found in the real world. if you want to get something done, you have to do it yourself. this university is an excellent autonomy builder. also the diversity is awesome! although as the school is getting more prestigious, it is turning into a rich suburuban kid's school.
