<p>If you don't mind me asking, whats the sex life like at NEU?</p>
<p>Say, as opposed to Boston University?</p>
<p>It definitely happens here, as we have a Sex Week and whatnot. However, compared to BU, as it has more people I feel that it is more prevalent there than here. However I cannot say for sure and am basing a lot of this on the student population, as well as stories I have heard. It all depends on the crowd you hang out with as well as other factors. Overall, I feel that if you are looking for a hook up, going to a decent party will most likely get you some action. It just depends on who you hang with, where you’re at, and how suave you are.</p>
<p>NU is ranked #8 by Princeton Review for ease of meaningless sexual encounters with no strings attached,however, it was only ranked #17 in this catagory by US News and World Report , so you might want to consider a different university.</p>
<p>8th and 17th are both pretty high rankings I think…</p>
<p>I just looked up the rankings for BU , they are ranked #2 and 4, so I think BU is your clear choice.</p>
<p>lol they do rankings for this? NEU has hotter girls than BU</p>
<p>Where can you read about this stuff?</p>
<p>Don’t BU dorm rules put serious restrictions on sex though? Or does anyone know how restricted NU dorms are?</p>
<p>And yeah, where the hell are these rankings, I want to see them!!</p>
<p>After touring both schools, it seems like in terms of hotness, those schools are tied. :D</p>
<p>NU dorms have no restrictions. Most dorms are either co-ed by suite or co-ed by floor.</p>
<p>NU I’ve heard had hotter girls, but seeing as I am a girl, I don’t really notice that much. </p>
<p>BU has a different feel than NU. My friends at BU complain that they could never go to the dining hall in sweatpants because they’d feel so underdressed. BU definitely isn’t as snooty as BC, but it’s more so than NU. So some I suppose might consider BU sexier because girls might put more effort into how people view them, whereas some people might consider NU sexier because girls are more laid back and casual. Ex: my BU friends “go out” to MIT frats, and my NU friends “go out” to bars (dancing) and smaller (more drunk) parties. My BU friends walked down Newbury and window shopped when the weather finally turned nice last week, and my NU friends spent several hours laying on the grass all over campus tanning.</p>
<p>Wow thank you for that answer. I’ve heard about people being stuck up at BU and that was a big turnoff, but to hear that NU girls like to hang around and be casual seems really cool.</p>
<p>hah neuchimie, I always thought you were a guy. All that engineering/chemistry stuff I guess…</p>
<p>Eh, I guess girls here are decently hot. There’s also a major shortage of attractive guys here, so guys really get the good end of that deal. I also agree with neuchimie about the differences between BU and NU girls… we have our share of the snooty/designer jean/ugg boot/expensive bag types, but not anything like at BU.</p>
<p>haha :D</p>
<p>so do you have any regrets about going to Northeastern? i have about a week left to decide between northeastern and BU, and its getting really tough and stressful to choose</p>
<p>i would choose NEU over BU…at least most of my high school did. Good luck to you.</p>
<p>timmbo11… if you know for sure what you want to do, NEU is great… but if you have some indecision as far as major, I’d stay with a standard 4 year program like BU. I came in unsure of my major (engineering), tried to switch into Bouve at semester, but they refused to let me in, so I am now a physics major, who is supposed to take summer I classes to make up for what I missed first semester, however I missed the deadline for summer I, which causes me to behind in terms of classes so now I am now most likely transferring. Just not for me. So ya, I guess I have somewhat of a regret from going to NEU as I’ve paid 40k-ish to realize I don’t want to be an engineer, but was not all for nothing.The people are for the most part nice, so the social scene was still pretty good, and the city is sweet. It’s all just what you make it. Academics is the reason for my departure, not so much the social life.</p>
<p>Good luck to you.</p>
<p>Thanks rd,</p>
<p>I plan on majoring in computer science, but you bring up a good point, switching majors… I will probably stick to it though, so maybe for me that won’t be a problem. Let me just be honest with you guys so you can all prove to me that I’m wrong:</p>
<p>When I think of BU I think more cultured students who are more outgoing and do fun activities (besides drinking 24/7). That’s me, I want to explore the city, get involved with clubs, meet lots of interesting people who can have a good conversation, and with some aspirations in their lives. This feeling, which I felt at BU admission day and not so much so at Northeastern’s Admitted Students days, is what is really holding me back from sending in my NEU deposit right now.</p>
<p>Am I wrong? Misinformed? I mean, I love everything about NEU, but right now I just want to make sure I’m joining the right crowd of people.</p>
<p>Typical Spring (70ish F) day at Northeastern: 1.) wake up 2.) go to class 3.) play frisbee/football on the quad 4.) Eat lunch 5.) go to class 6.) play more football 7.) eat dinner 8.) do homework.</p>
<p>I explore the city every weekend when I go to Newbury street, Prudential center, copley, etc. Tons of clubs on campus. AIChE (Northeastern Chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers) has Lobster Fest every summer. In the beginning of july, the whole department gets together in one of the quads and has lobster, drinks, etc. It really is a good time. </p>
<p>I’m on the Northeastern ChemE Car team where we have to build a car powered by a chemical reaction that travels a given distance carrying a given weight of water. We competed in the Northeast regionals at UMass Amherst last month and while our car didn’t do so well (someone accidentally ruined our motor) we are going to register for the national competition in the fall. This group of friends and I do everything together: we hang out all the time, do homework together, and are in clubs together. We all learn a ton from each other and while there are clubs like this at other schools, I definitely feel important in these clubs at Northeastern. </p>
<p>You want aspirations? How about talking to the seniors who are debating between MIT, Stanford, and CalTech for PhDs in engineering? Talk to them about their co-op experiences, what they learned, why they love their major. You can get just as much talking to an upperclassman about “Real world experience” as you would get from talking to a professor or professional in your field. Give it 3-4 years and then you’ll be telling little freshman about how much money you make and how you know that your major is a perfect fit for you because you had 18 months of REAL WORLD experience.</p>
<p>Hey man, if I wasn’t so embarrassed by the first post in this thread I would really want to meet you. I appreciate the time you took to write that post. I guess it really wraps up most of my fears. I guess there really is that campus feel at Northeastern, being able to play frisbee, hang out on the grass, and all that stuff is something I really just can’t get at Boston University. And you’re right, the co-op really does put people at an advantage and there’s a reason why everyone there always mentions the co-op program.</p>
<p>I love this website. Great people. Great help.</p>
<p>I’ll be sending in my enrollment deposit tomorrow.</p>
<p>Glad I could help. And as far as that post, you just said what everyone else was thinking. Let me know if you have any other questions.</p>
<p>Haha someone had to ask right? :D</p>
<p>My friend goes and has had a blast</p>
