My son is starting at NEU this Fall and is trying to decide on the right Living Learning Center. It seems like it would be great to be in one of the more diverse LLC’s (like Global Frontier or Fusion). However, he is going into Engineering and is concerned that he will be at an academic disadvantage if he is not in the Engineering LLC. Any thoughts on this from current Engineering students?
LLCs are primarily meant to be social rather than academic, by grouping together students with similar interests. He will have plenty of chances to meet and make friends with his fellow engineering students in classes and clubs, so if he wants to do something like global frontier/fusion, he should go for it. It could be a great chance for him to make some non-engineering friends!
Thank you @nanotechnology. I greatly appreciate all your input to this site. You provide a valuable service for the University and it’s potential students.
