Graduated from there this year.

It's one word: Northeastern. Also abbreviated NU, not NEU. Just an FYI so you don't sound like a tourist.

Edit: good luck. they give pretty good scholarships to the top people that apply from most high schools.

I really liked it. It's much more of a campus feel than the other boston schools (BU & BC) but you're still right in the city. My dorm for 3 years looked out onto fenway (which is a 10-15 minute walk from campus). Plenty of music, movies, sports in the area to keep you busy.

The co-op program is top notch. You get paid good money while working full time, and everyone in my class pretty much had a job before graduation. Talking to friends that attended other schools there was a lot more job hunting going on after graduation.

I don't know how you can say that Northeastern has more of a campus feel than BC. I'll give you BU but BC actually has a real campus. Northeastern and BU are just spread out along Huntington Ave and Comm Ave respectively. You must mean "urban campus."

I guess I was mostly thinking BU because that just feels like a bunch of buildings in the city. I admit, I didn't spend much time at BC so I don't know really how the campus is set up.

I didnt't like it when I was there, you are right in the city just like BU. I would say BU is even more of the city since it is right on Commonwealth and you've got Fenway, Boston Commons within a walk. BC is a huge campus and is a nice distance away from Boston to not be a city although its just a T ride or Car ride away.

I applied to NU but then I didnt even complete some SAT scores and waste 20 bucks since I didn't want to go there.

For some the city is a plus, for some it is a drawback. I personally wanted to be right in the city.

Yeah its all matter of preference, I didn't like it so I didn't choose that or even NYU, but for those wanting the city its right there, as is BU.
