<p>so i am going to go visit this summer but i was wondering from any students or alumni what is the experience at Northeastern U like?</p>

<p>i am a nerd and do study but i also like to go and have fun. not much of a partier in the sense of drinking but i am one for the city and like to get outdoors.</p>

<p>another big thing is that i dont want TAs teaching my classes. unless they are really up for it. i like teachers that can be reached.</p>

<p>i am very social and am not shy when it comes to asking questions when i don't understand.</p>

<p>so is it a fit?</p>

<p>I have taken 8 4 credit classes. 6/8 knew me well enough to recognize me outside of class. 7/8 returned my emails promptly. 5/8 will definitely remember me if I see them again in the fall. TAs don't really teach classes, they just teach recitations. Some professors might want you to contact TAs before you contact them. A few professors (2 or 3) have given their cell phone numbers.</p>

<p>One of my friends at Princeton said that he could never reach his professors. Everything went through the TAs.</p>
