Northeastern offers an attractive urban campus and better-than-average dorms in a terrific city. Most of the students academically well-prepared and, by and large, good people. The professors I have had, at least in my major, have ranged from very good to unbelievably good. Outside my major, the quality has not been as high. I've taken some nearly useless introductory courses in other subjects. Too large, too dumbed down, with not much interaction among students or with the profs and TA's. The social life has been good for me. I've made friends with some terrific people. While NU is definitely NOT a party school, there is too much drinking and juvenile behavior on the weekends. This involves people who really should know better and apply their intelligence to their own lives. But I doubt that it's any worse than most other college scenes - even those at supposedly elite schools. I visited a friend at Boston College a few weekends ago and it was even worse there! It's not so pervasive that the saner students can avoid it entirely. I amfortunate that my family can afford the expensive tuition and dorm prices. I know less fortunate students who will incur a lot of debt during their time here. Again, that's pretty much par for most good schools.
