N.U. Bound?

Hello!

I am an international student recently admitted to N.U. Bound program.
https://www.northeastern.edu/admissions/nu-bound-faq/

I am just curious what exactly the program is? The website says its a “specialized” program but we all know that’s just nice wording.

Does “select international students” mean unexceptional students being honored by the school or “we just don’t think you can fit in well first year.”

Do I have the option to just do the normal program? I honestly don’t see the point to go to China for a year and not tap into the resources on the actual campus.

I feel like they don’t have space in the Boston campus so it’s easier to send International students to China or maybe there’s some other reason we don’t know about but you’re still in a great school in the end, and I think it’s beneficial in a way if you decide to learn Mandarin. It’ll look really good on your resume and either way you’ll still tap into the school’s resources in the second year. If you like travel and exploring new things, this is a good opportunity
