Why Northeastern?

<p>I got accepted last night and I am really excited. However I never visited the campus, I have just heard really good things about it. Is Northeastern here anyones #1 choice or top choice? What do they love about it? What made them decide to attend?</p>

<p>NEU is my D's top choice for engineering. Although NEU is clearly rising in the ranks in recent years, I think they have always been known for a strong engineering program. That coupled with the co-op program is the biggest draw.</p>

<p>The location is right up there as well. If you like Boston, you couldn't ask for a better setting than NEU, it actually has a real campus, right in the middle of the city. The recent improvements in the facilities thanks to generous donations from alumni (notably the EMC guys) are fantastic. The Marino Gym is gorgeous.</p>

<p>We visited twice and I can tell you if I was looking at college today, I would love to attend NEU.</p>

<p>It's my third choice, after Boston University and University of Chicago which deferred me.</p>
