<p>how is the social scene at northeastern? </p>
<p>too many parties/too little, or just the right amount?</p>
<p>how are the people? are they friendly/accepting? is there a good mix of kids or all they all a certain kind (ex: preppy, hipster, etc). is it a "hookup school" (people just looking for drunk fun and one night stands), or is it a good school for relationships and friendships? is it clique-y?</p>
<p>what do kids do on the weekend? is there a lot to do in boston, or do they mainly stay on campus with friends? does campus offer a lot of activities?</p>
<p>how are the dorms? spacious, crowded? </p>
<p>any other info you can give me would be great. I really appreciate the honesty</p>
<p>I don’t know about the parties.</p>
<p>The people there are GREAT. They’re very diverse so they are totally cool with who you are. You’ll find your kind there in no time. I dunno about certain relationships as I don’t go there (…yet 
haha) but all this information I have is from visiting the school for a whole day.</p>
<p>Boston is AMAZING. They have tons of restaurants and places for kids to go. Boston is a college town, sorta. People always find stuff to do at NEU. Within the first month of school (or 2 weeks? I forgot) NEU sets up all those fun stuff for freshmen to do so they can settle in quicker.</p>
<p>Dorms? They’re beyond awesome. Most kids would have a dorm consisting of two bedrooms (two kids each), a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom with two sinks and two separate toilet/shower rooms (I don’t know what to call that.)</p>
<p>All the campus buildings and stuff like that are really new. It’s a perfect campus. It looks like something out of a brochure. It exceeds your expectations, really. </p>
<p>It’s more of a science/math/medical majors school.</p>
<p>I don’t really know what else to add.</p>
<p>If you visited for a whole day, you should know the majority of dorms aren’t like that. There are a relatively small amount of freshmen that get lucky and have suite style (no communal bathrooms and sometimes a kitchen/living room), and then the honors kids go to IV where they get their own bathrooms (but no living room or kitchen).</p>
<p>Most other first year dorms are exactly like every other school. You have a roommate, a communal bathroom with several showers, one or two common areas for the whole floor, and no air conditioning.</p>
<p>I can promise you it’s not a “math” school. I’m a math major, and this is not a “math” school. Good sciences and health, but also strong engineering and really good business school. Then there is the entire-college-worth amount of artistic majors with plenty of resources for them.</p>
<p>One thing I’ll point out about the relationships is that its completely random. My freshmen roommates were pure hook-up kind of people, and I met plenty of guys that were just like that too. They tended to be the majority at the frat parties. And yet I know (and have consistently known since starting here) more people in long-term relationships than people who are hook-up types. Definitely wasn’t something I was expecting in college, but it’s been the case for me. It’s not like the school is one way or another, its just who you tend to hang out with.</p>
