MEISA, Northeastern Chapter Reviews

I went here for a Northeastern men basketball game, I liked it. It was pretty good. The seats are very comfortable and i heard that the food there was very good.

Brick was at this university to watch its CEO James Kastle, speak in the Senate room in the Snell building. None of us have actually attended this University so this review is based strictly on our one time visit to this campus.

The campus looked clean, the people looked friendly. The Snell building looked like I would have enjoyed it, if I felt I need to go back to college to earn yet another degree. The best thing about our visit? They gave out free donuts, bagels and coffee while we watched people speak about technology.

If you want free donuts and coffee, keep an eye out for conferences at colleges.

Great university. Beautiful campus. Wonderful students.

Great experience as my daughter graduated from the University n now working.... done very well in her MBA program. ... good library n teaching staff n professors

An incredible school in an incredible city that still costs way too much to attend.

Northeastern University (NU, formerly NEU) is a private research university in Boston, Massachusetts, established in 1898. It is categorized as an R1 institution (Doctoral Universities: Highest Research Activity) by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education.[5] The university offers undergraduate and graduate programs on its main campus in the Fenway-Kenmore, Roxbury, South End, and Back Bay neighborhoods of Boston. The university has satellite campus in Charlotte, North Carolina, Seattle, Washington, and San Jose, California that exclusively offer graduate degrees. An additional satellite campus opened in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in late 2016.[6] The university's enrollment is approximately 18,000 undergraduate students and 7,000 graduate students.

Applied to this university. Really helpful and application procedure is quite simple. Can do it yourself. Also you can upload all online copy. Saves you quite amount of efforts and money. Don't have to worry about post reaching on time. Transcript to be sent only if admitted. Online recommendation. Again very helpful.

Kindly apply early. Very good college for studies.
Nearest 2 Jain/Hindu temples are 13 miles away in different direction. Takes 35 mins to drive there.

Very cold weather so bit harsh for Indians to live.

This is a fine college that i attended and graduated from. The co-op internship program is one of the best, the student and faculty are top notch. Also, being right in the city is absurdly awesome (if you can afford it)

Rude staff! I called inquiring information about the phD Counseling Psychology programs and a lady (with a nigerian accent) sighs underneath her breath and stated, "What other information do u need to know about because all the information is on the website!" People with this kind of attitude should not be employed in settings of this nature because it decreases student retention & potential new students from wanting to attend the institution. But my money wont be spent there & im NOT on financial assistance, I WAS PAYING CASH PER COURSE!!

My experience with neu was very disappointing.I came here since fall 2016 semester for masters in engineering management.I had taken two courses which included operations research and prob stats.The site my neu didn't really live up to my expectations,when u enroll for the 3 courses,they make it clear through an email u can take 2 courses later,then u need to contact the office.I guess it's sheer mismanagement.The professor for deterministic Operations research failed me,which I didn't deserve,I don't know why despite of me regularly completing my assignments, honestly writing my exams,wherein a bunch of students seem to copy and The methods taught at O.R class are outdated and too lengthy and they expect u to follow such methods or u lose marks.THOUGH I liked the probability and statistics course.But the overall experience was disappointing and I had to drop out after completing one semester.

There are far easier ways to obtain greatness than to go through this place to try to get it. SERIOUSLY!

An excellent school featuring top research, stand out professors, and the unparalleled co-op program. They do an excellent job of maintaining and beautifying the campus, which is in the vibrant and fun city of Boston.

My girlfriend loved everything about her experience there.

Float my boat. Was going for a note with my oat and found a boat. Slipped in with the float and made a moat. How many slopes? Hope.

Ranger Rick slipped, Sat on a crab and made a slab. Too many labs. I found a bag.

I absolutely enjoyed my 5 years at Northeastern University. Highly recommend it to any student looking to have an amazing education and great time as a college student.

2 sisters graduated from that college its awesome !!

I really enjoy Northeastern's campus - its a little burb in the city!

I just visited the campus for a tour here. I liked the campus very much and it looks very clean and modern. The co op programs seem promising. Having a smoke free campus is also a plus.

A lovely school! It is getting better and better. It is just right in many aspects.

Haha, my friend's son just graduated from MIT. He said it was a factory, not enough attention to undergrads. He regretted...

As a first year at Northeastern, from the South of the US, I have to say I am completely satisfied with my decision to attend Northeastern University. Like any other college I have made lifelong friends, and I can say without a doubt that I am receiving the total college experience. What makes NEU stand out compared to other top universities similar in rank, is the staff. Northeastern is the cleanest university, out of the 17 I visited, which doesn't go unnoticed. We have hard working professors that will go out of their way to ensure their students are learning the material. Northeastern offers so many included "extras" such as free tutoring, availability to disability assistance, and so much more. For anyone interested, I would definitely consider NEU when applying.

My sister attends this beautiful university and I visit her every chance I get. The location, atmosphere, and people are everything you want your ideal college to have.

Beautiful, lively campus buzzing with eateries and coffee shops

Excellent university, beautiful campus, and great location.

Large and comprehensive, I heard that the basic courses, teaching is a bit lacking.

Fantastic university. Quickly growing in size and prestige, and for good reason.

Nice College centered in downtown Boston, nice neighborhood near by.

Why can't we hate all bias professors? Maybe because they are not all so hateful and discriminating as others. The title professor doesn't mean what it used to.

I am a current grad student at NU. Engineering professors are not always great, business professors are more consistent in quality. NU is a non-profit organization, yet it raises the tuition every year, moreover it pays one of the highest salaries in the United States to its president Mr. Aoun, over $3 Million annually! (compare this number to Harvard and MIT presidents and you will see the ridiculousness of NU) Yet the library bathrooms are full of crap, piss and toilet papers on the floor during exam times. Not a consistent& cohesive establishment in quality education. Tuition price says high quality, but everything else does not nearly live up to it. This school definitely does not deserve the tuition dollars it charges. Pay for education, not for overpaid presidents.

Verdict= Go elsewhere!

[October 2018] The campus environment is beautiful.

The most innovative, practically-oriented major university I ve ever encountered. My graduate program at the Law school is relevant and I mean every class and is intellectually challenging.

Northeaster has an beautiful campus, which looks great in the spring. It's in the heart of Boston which just adds to everything.

Trash university for ever, especially civil engineering

I didn't know the place. I thought it was wonderful.

Affordable goods! Got some postcards for only 50cent each :)

Email response, "You should hear back from us within one business day" It's been over a week!

Huge place, no security anyone can enter. But one of the best Cafeteria's and plenty of study area.

Its pretty great. New facilities, really good professors, and a great location in Boston!

I love NEU and have a great two years experience when i study here. Go huskies!

good on paper at the undergraduate level but academically shallow in reality.

I got my both undergraduate and graduate here. To be honest, its undergraduate programs are nicer. I bet all the graduate programs are very similar though- big classmate population, online mixed on-ground, night classes, limited study schedule, teamwork in the small& smelly library. About its quality: too much about textbooks and never goes real world. I suggest who are considering taking your master program here to take your first week course seriously, if you realized someone just reads PPT but never dose a good teaching, just drop the course! To be fair, I wouldn't do it again if I could have a time machine, even though I had the double husky scholarship.

But, the undergraduate study was pretty nice though. I really enjoyed it. Staff and professors are nicer, they did work with me step by step with patience. I didn't even feel the pressure because they helped a lot. Courses were well-designed, and meeting advisors was very easy.

Again, the way this school teaches is old school, if you have a living place in Boston, enough time and dollars, or have a favor of chasing a high-rank school, this is the one for you. If you look for a very good cost-performance rate, go somewhere else.

Northeastern University is not so great. I was able to acquire my Bachelor of Science in Information Technology with a 3.8 GPA. I did this while working full time/traveling for work. I put a lot of work into this degree but now I feel I was not properly prepared for the real world of IT. There should have been some Microsoft or Cisco certificates included with degree. All IT jobs want several years of experience but I thought a degree from NEU would get my foot in the door somewhere. Since graduating 6/2014 I have been on many job interviews but I have not been able to land a job in the server world of IT. Today I'm making slightly more money than when I did not have a degree. I'd love to continue my education but I can't because of my student loans. Looking back I think it would have made more sense to acquire IT industry certificates like Microsoft, Cisco, and Linux. Plus it would have cost a lot less than a degree from NEU.

This campus has grown over the years to really be a staple in the community. Lots of places to read, relax, eat and grab a coffee.
