[languid moon]

you must live in a rich neighborhood

[lyric cypress]

[grizzled bough]

I would shoot my shot who cares if I get punched

[lyric cypress]

Ig

It was a while ago

I wasnt thinking of networking

[empty wing]

gonna get a new PR rn on shoulder press after getting rejected from ivys and my situationship got into harvard and dartmouth

[lyric cypress]

oh fuck nah

[languid moon]

real estate is that good hmm

they must own a real estate company right ?

the billionaires?

[lyric cypress]

they build and own huge things

like this one kid ik his parents and grandparents own most of downtown seattke

ik this cuz one time we went downtown and he pointed at them and said we own that we own that like 20 times

bro is actually a douche

[languid moon]

wtf

damn

[lyric cypress]

yeah its weird to explain where I live to people

[languid moon]

what do you even do to get your foot in the door

[lyric cypress]

Know people

work hard

like work sooo hard

[languid moon]

like generational wealth ?

[lyric cypress]

yea

once ur in it do ur best to stay in it

[languid moon]

i think its luck/nepotism

anyone can work hard

[lyric cypress]

a bit but u also need to be competent

Ik it takes hard work cuz most people where I live came from poverty

like most of my friends parents came from poverty or middle class backgrounds

[languid moon]

did they major in business

or

[lyric cypress]

nah

like a bunch of diff stuff

Ik people who didnt go to college where i live who do very well

Like that one guy who isnt giving his kid money went to BYU Hawahi

[languid moon]

well im going into cs to have a comfortable life

[lyric cypress]

good choice

one of them majored in CS and Math I think at MIT

and he does very well

[languid moon]

swe quant is my goal

[lyric cypress]

good goal

work hard, network harder

[languid moon]

thats why neu co op would be great

[lyric cypress]

yea

thats why I wanna do it

the guy from MIT i just mentioned also told me to go to NEU

[languid moon]

i mean i could still make it at my state school

[lyric cypress]

absolutley

Bro my dad dropped out of college 😭

ur fine

[languid moon]

im just worried about internships,

[lyric cypress]

just apply to a bunch

try and find people to talk too

[languid moon]

i want one freshman yr, but with a state school i dont know if it’s possible

although the college im dual enrolled at had some guy make 115k when he got out

[lyric cypress]

thats good

I hope the best for u

I was very privleged to be given the starting place I was

[languid moon]

also worried about discrimination in cs

since im a woman

[lyric cypress]

oh yeah that sucks that it happens

[languid moon]

yeah drawing the neu campus, with the mascot

[lyric cypress]

Huskies

[languid moon]

yeah

basically this image

with the husky on the tiles

[lyric cypress]

thats gonna be sick

[languid moon]

have to practice shading though

[lyric cypress]

I dont know how I got it, ima take it as a sign to go

[languid moon]

yeah you should

you get to travel around the world, while doing co- ops

and college

pretty awesome

[lyric cypress]

yea will be awesome

I have hella friends I wanna visit all over europe too

[languid moon]

you need a passport right ?

i put global scholars as my 3rd option

i have never left america

[lyric cypress]

yea u need a passport

I have one tho

[lyric cypress]

I hope u can one day

its very fun

[empty wing]

Neu got a private equity club too

Its actually popular

1k followers on LinkedIn

[lyric cypress]

[empty wing]

[lyric cypress]

[empty wing]

Oh yeah ur global

[lyric cypress]

[empty wing]

So that’s why it’s expensive

[trim edge]

[empty wing]

We up 😎

[trim edge]

[lyric cypress]

Yea

[trim edge]

spring admissions dont count for any school

theyre not reported

[lyric cypress]

Bro goes to oakland 😭

[trim edge]

[trim edge]

whats wrong with oakland/

[lyric cypress]

nah fafsa fucked me

[lyric cypress]

no no its funny

look at his name and hes talking about how oakland is included

[trim edge]

dkmetcalf

[empty wing]

Wym spring? Ur not in the fall semester?

[trim edge]

he was worried that oakland was like the weaker applicants

[trim edge]

nah i am

but thats why nu in and global scholars arent counted

no school counts spring admits in their admissions stats

[lyric cypress]

yea its still pretty low tho

[empty wing]

Nu in and global scholars start in spring?

[lyric cypress]

like id guess sub 20

nah

[empty wing]

I never knew that

[trim edge]

nah its not sub 20

[languid moon]

what is nu.in

[lyric cypress]

nah they start in fall

[trim edge]

its like sub 10

[lyric cypress]

deadass

[trim edge]

and theres no seperate acceptance rates for campuses

its all the same

[empty wing]

Then why anwr said it’s spring

[lyric cypress]

idk

oh ig NUin is

[trim edge]

nah nuin

[lyric cypress]

wait Global would be included

[empty wing]

Oh

[lyric cypress]

cuz ur at there campuses still

[empty wing]

But global isn’t included

[lyric cypress]

NUin ur not

The northeastern website used to say it was

idk if it still does

[trim edge]

people who join northeastern boston after their fall semester arent included in the admissions stats

so oakland admits are

like global scholars/nuin arent included

[empty wing]

Oh cause global do 1 semester global

And then go back to Boston in spring

[trim edge]

yeah theyre not included

[languid moon]

what about nuin

what is the difference between the global scholars and in

[trim edge]

nuin you do a full year abroad right?

[trim edge]

nuin you gotta do a full year abroad

and glboal scholars you do 1 semester at oakland/london

[languid moon]

thats cool

[trim edge]

and then go boston

[lyric cypress]

nah NUin is 1 semester

at a non northeastern school

[trim edge]

oh then thats global scholars

[lyric cypress]

global is through NEU tho

[trim edge]

global scholars is 1 semester??

[lyric cypress]

full year

[trim edge]

i thought that was nuin

[lyric cypress]

nah

NUin is semester

[trim edge]

ahh

[lyric cypress]

through not NEU tho

[languid moon]

a semster at cc ?

[trim edge]

regardless nuin/global scholars arernt counted in admissions

[lyric cypress]

yea

[trim edge]

semester at ooakland/london

nah not cc

[lyric cypress]

is it even impressive I got it

[languid moon]

oh

[lyric cypress]

thats NUbound

thats diff

[languid moon]

i mean does it matter

you still get to go to boston

[lyric cypress]

yea

exactly

Id rather do global honestly

[trim edge]

exactly

[lyric cypress]

im hyped for london

[trim edge]

londons a mid city

hate that place

[lyric cypress]

bruh

[languid moon]

chewsday city

[empty wing]

@trim edge I actually like having the idea Oakland 1 year because everyone is freshman and it’s a close knit community so everyone will know each other

[lyric cypress]

that point is I can go all over europe during weekends for cheap

not everyone

[empty wing]

Also the business professors there are Berkeley CEOs

[trim edge]

im boutta love oakland bro

we get the bay area connections

[lyric cypress]

there are people stuck there all 4 years

[languid moon]

nice campus too

[trim edge]

plus dorms are better

im botuta get a single dorm and private bathroom

[lyric cypress]

u can just apply to NEU london and oakland

[empty wing]

15 mins away from UC Berkeley

[lyric cypress]

its wild

[trim edge]

exactly

[languid moon]

wait is oakland only one hr

[trim edge]

whats your major?

[empty wing]

We boutta party in Berkeley

[trim edge]

yessir

[lyric cypress]

We boutta go crazy at berkley

are yall year at oakland

[trim edge]

yea

i honestly chose oakland first

i wanted to go there

[lyric cypress]

ill see yall for 4 months

[empty wing]

Why 4

Oh semester

[lyric cypress]

NEU is weird thats why

fuckin 4 month summer

[languid moon]

so oakland is only 1 yr ?

[empty wing]

It’s gonna be sad if I meet a rlly good friend but they are in global scholar or nu in and have to leave 😔

[lyric cypress]

Nuin kids dont go oakland

only global

but youll see em in boston

[languid moon]

im confused, is nu oakland 4 yrs ?

[lyric cypress]

nah 1

but u can go for 4 ive heard

like u can apply to other NEU campuses seperatley

Like ik someone who is 4 years in london

[languid moon]

ohh

[empty wing]

Nobody goes to Oakland 4 years

This year only 2 people wanted T stay

[languid moon]

well oakland looks nice asf

[empty wing]

I’m surprised the Oakland yield rate last class is 50%

Thought it would be a lot lower

[trim edge]

I might go back to Oakland

After Boston

[languid moon]

nice housing

[trim edge]

Most people get singles there

[lyric cypress]

I dont want a single

[trim edge]

I’m trynna secure private bathroom too

[lyric cypress]

Imo it hurts the college exprience

my friend has a single at IU and doesnt like it

[languid moon]

so do waitlisted individuals get the last housing options

if someone got off the waitlist

[lyric cypress]

yea i asssume

[empty wing]

Fr?

[languid moon]

i heard boston forces people into triples

that sucks

[empty wing]

Maybe he’s just anti social or sum

There’s like 800 freshman’s only class I’m sure everyone will try to make friends with everyone

[lyric cypress]

no he loves IU

he doesnt like his single

hes in a frat

i was just with him at IU

[trim edge]

Yeah

What’s your major

[empty wing]

Damn u still don’t know?

[trim edge]

Nah you never told me

[empty wing]

Business Administration and I’m gonna have a finance concentration

[trim edge]

Oh I thought you were cs

[lyric cypress]

same

i think im adding Poli sci too now

[languid moon]

are you cs ?

[empty wing]

Why

[lyric cypress]

cuz i have an intrest in it

[trim edge]

yea

[lyric cypress]

and I may go to politics

[untold shale]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOCn3_iOAro

[fossil zephyr]

is this all dual degrees

[round wyvern]

for cs yeah

well no

theres other ones in other sections

like chem eng + cs is one but its not in khoury its in coe

so it'll be in that section

[fossil zephyr]

so is it like a major and a minor ?

[round wyvern]

no its a combined major

[vivid verge]

is anybody in the Nu.in program for cs or cybersecurity?

[fossil zephyr]

ya

[vivid verge]

how are you choosing a location?

[fossil zephyr]

as in how do you see what location you have or how am I deciding on which one

[vivid verge]

how are you deciding on which one

[fossil zephyr]

how hard it will to communicate

[vivid verge]

oh okay

[vernal fern]

anyone visiting neu this week

[trim edge]

within khoury yea

you can do ce and cs

in coe

[lyric cypress]

Yea I am

[fossil zephyr]

Kinda wanna do this

But sucks it not in khoury lowkey

[trim edge]

Yup

I think imma do cs and physics

And then double major with math

[fossil zephyr]

Double majoring hard asf supposedly

[grizzled bough]

It’s sus how easy it is to change majors on the portal

[languid moon]

is there cs and stats or finance

[twilit hinge]

cause u usually dont declare ur major ur first year

I think neu is quite flexible in the beginning

[twilit hinge]

unfortunately no, u would have to double major

its business adminiistration with a concentration in finance

but with combined major u wont be able to take a concentration since they make one for u with cs

[round wyvern]

I emailed

Before changing

They just said they’re very flexible

if you select an nuin location you can only switch to other majors offered there tho

[empty wing]

how much do u earn per co op?

like $10k?

35 hours week, 4 months, $20/hr?

[maiden fiber]

different for every co op

and major

ofc cs co ops would pay more

[novel bolt]

you’re also not gonna co-op till junior year

what’s accurate now will not be accurate in three years lol

[empty wing]

Co op summer before junior year or after

And how am I supposed to do 3 co ops in 2 years

[ionic ravine]

does someone have the link to neu'28 discord

[twilit hinge]

Thats super difficult, u have to enter with a lot of credits to skip out a semester

And also coops dont have to start until junior year

U can start spring of sophomore year

Most people do 2, but if u wanna do 3 u need to stay for the 5th year

[twilit hinge]

U can dm me I’ll invite

[trim edge]

sample plan has sophmore spring as a co op

[fossil zephyr]

Anyone wanting to CE and CS, been looking on reddit and only see bad lol

[trim edge]

the combnied major?

[fossil zephyr]

YA

[trim edge]

im interested in it

idk what kind of combined major i want to do

it all depends on what courses of mine transfer

[twilit hinge]

yea most just go either pure ce or pure cs

[trim edge]

eddie do yk what meal exchanges are

[twilit hinge]

I love the idea of combined but I wanna go more in depth with the topic

[twilit hinge]

I think itsl ike u get to share ur swipes with others

[fossil zephyr]

Ya , their CS + Business looks dope too

[twilit hinge]

thats a popular one

[trim edge]

i was looking at the meal plans and apparently hr 12 swipes a week is the most popular

which iddk how people live off of

[twilit hinge]

thats the one they set u on

[trim edge]

if youre doing 3 meals a day 21 meals a week, and you only get 12 swipes

what do peolpe do for the remaining 9

[twilit hinge]

just start stacking to go lmfao

Honestly my plan with 12 is 2 swipes for 5 days, 1 swipe on weekends

and then prob go outside somewhere to eat on the weekends

[trim edge]

wdym

[maiden fiber]

im thinking of doing cs concentration in software

[twilit hinge]

idk if ur allowed but I think it might be possible to get food to-go

[trim edge]

youre just gonna do pure cs?

[twilit hinge]

thats my plan too

[trim edge]

ohh

[twilit hinge]

I asked some students

[trim edge]

cuz if you can take it home then its chill

[twilit hinge]

im doing concentration in software

and then cross classes with systems

[fossil zephyr]

Wow

[trim edge]

but i thought taking the food out was bad

[fossil zephyr]

That sounds sick

[trim edge]

not ai?

[twilit hinge]

cause both concentrations are have classes I want

[twilit hinge]

its alright, but softwarea nd systems have better classes

[trim edge]

software engineering is extremely satureated so i wanna go into ai/ml

[fossil zephyr]

Wait how do concentrations work ? Is that not combined major

[twilit hinge]

if I really do masters I can take the ai then

[trim edge]

i see

[twilit hinge]

concentration in software is not really for swe

[trim edge]

idt im gonna b eable to get a concentration

[twilit hinge]

I realize there's more useful tools in there

[twilit hinge]

so combined has an already setup concentration for u

if u do pure, u can choose ur own concentration

so like business has a concentration in finance, but if u do combined with cs u cant do that

[maiden fiber]

i was thinking btwn ai and software

[trim edge]

whatre the concentrations?

[twilit hinge]

well they dont have a specific name

its by the courses they offer in upperclass

[twilit hinge]

ya thats a good combo as well

[fossil zephyr]

Ah so basically making your own combined major

[maiden fiber]

i could do both?

[twilit hinge]

yes

u wont be able to take

all classes of both concentraitons

but u can take some of each

[maiden fiber]

ooh great cus i wanted to do both

[twilit hinge]

so u will still have a specific cocnentration but u can dabble in other concentration courses

ye

like I wanna do compilers and stuff in software

but theres great systems classes

[trim edge]

whats btown?

[maiden fiber]

oh short for between

[trim edge]

i have never heard that in my life 💀

[twilit hinge]

btwn?

ye between

[trim edge]

yea

oh btwn

i thought it said btown

[maiden fiber]

yes

[trim edge]

i thought that was like a major or soethingn

[twilit hinge]

lmao

[maiden fiber]

honestly its a good thing i wont be dorming cus if i was id have cravings to go to playa bowls everyday near campus 😢

[twilit hinge]

😭

[twilit hinge]

thats reasonable

[maiden fiber]

i had this for lunch earlier

[trim edge]

[maiden fiber]

curry chicken katsu mmm

[trim edge]

[novel bolt]

when i saw this my jaw detached from my skull and my eyes bulged out of my head like a cartoon character

[trim edge]

Oh that would be such a vibe going there

On like a Friday after classes

[maiden fiber]

😭

[maiden fiber]

this one i had is kind of near it’s only like three train stops from campus

[empty wing]

Oakland food better anyways

[novel bolt]

anything in boston is close to neu if you’re brave enough

[maiden fiber]

yeah

the whole boston city is relatively easy to get around

[twilit hinge]

easy transportation

[twilit hinge]

nah just keep cooking in #1139409057313214464

[trim edge]

Looks so good

[trim edge]

Fr

[maiden fiber]

nah i actually hate the green line its backed up rn cus the train in front of us is being disabled 😩

green line is the worst line

its super crowded

[trim edge]

how safe is boston

[maiden fiber]

good question

its a city

crimes r gonna happen

butits not too bad i think

[trim edge]

how does it compare ton yc

nyc

[maiden fiber]

for the 18 years ive been here i havent run into anything bad

uhh idk cus i’m notfrom nyc

[trim edge]

itll be calm then

[trim edge]

youve never been?

[maiden fiber]

i think its fine the more dangerous spots is in roxbury and stuff and those r like the neighborhoods

i dont think youd ever go by there so its all good

citizens app is nice to have so yk whats going on

[novel bolt]

the areas around the colleges are all pretty safe

they all have blue light systems too

[trim edge]

i kinnda wanna do a little bit of exploring

i def wanna check out the surrounding schools mit/harvard/ bc/bu

also vi hows like long distance transportation in boston

say i wanted to go to nyc from boston, would that be feasible

[maiden fiber]

u can explore just dont go off to the neighborhoods

[maiden fiber]

yeah amtrak is 5hrs

[trim edge]

ahh thats so long

[maiden fiber]

a lot of my friends go to nyc over the weekend all the time

[trim edge]

yeah i might do that for a weekend

[fossil zephyr]

Do most students bring their car

[maiden fiber]

i dont think so

parking is extremely expensive

and you honestly dont even need it cus its super easy to get around boston via mbta

you’d only need a car if ur going outside the general boston area or into the neighborhoods maybe

[novel bolt]

it’s also an urban campus

there’s literally nowhere to park your car

and you can easily get everywhere on campus by foot

[grizzled bough]

God I wish I was poorer

[trim edge]

crazy statement

[maiden fiber]

😭

[twilit hinge]

what in the world

💀

anyone wanna park here for 69k

[maiden fiber]

😭😭😭

i was considering commuting to neu w car but then i saw their garage parking is $800 for 3 months and said hell no

[twilit hinge]

wait if u leave ur car in the garage is it the same price

[maiden fiber]

wdym

[twilit hinge]

cause what I wanted to do if possible was leave my car in the garage, and then during winter break use it to bring some stuff back

just I didnt know how expensive it would be

[maiden fiber]

oh its

$800 to park from like 6am-11pm

and 24/7 is $2100

i believe

[twilit hinge]

2100 for few months?

[maiden fiber]

so i guess u could

if u had that kinda money..

yeah

[twilit hinge]

uhhhhh

yea imma just get my sis to drive me home

💀

[maiden fiber]

LOL

[twilit hinge]

or if anyone got the money to buy that parking lot and share it I would be happy to bring me car

[twilit hinge]

so ig 500 a month

yea its morew orth sacrificng money on gas than leaving it for 2k

[trim edge]

lowkey not as high as i thought itd be

[fossil zephyr]

How many CS classes do you lose taking if you do CS + Business

Or any other combined majors

[twilit hinge]

i dont have a specificed amount, but the good thing about combined is that they pick classes that u really need

so while pure cs and business may have repetitive/similar classes, combined will have disctintive ones

[maiden fiber]

in downtown

[twilit hinge]

am I trippin or is that a real person

[trim edge]

boston seems like such a cool city

[maiden fiber]

so real

some of my fav pics of boston

[twilit hinge]

wowieee

[trim edge]

Broo

Boston boutta be so tuff

[maiden fiber]

in my eyes boston doesnt look like that 80% of the time im just romanticizing it so dont have too high expectations lmao

[grizzled bough]

Boston is one of the most overrated cities ever, looks wise

[maiden fiber]

u know wats overrated

nyc

[empty wing]

Been a Celtics fan since 2016

This is meant to be

[trim edge]

Its call

Calm

Long as it’s clean

can i take a tour at the boston campus

ifi was admitted oakland

i wanna visit neu

and bostons closer to me than oakland

[maiden fiber]

yeah u could just book a tour on their website

boston is way cleaner than nyc

[trim edge]

alr i might check it out soon

[maiden fiber]

its not clean clean but not filthy either

[simple lantern]

can anyone with knowledge about either BU or NEU check the x vs y page or the international students page

[trim edge]

"anyone with knowledge"

[simple lantern]

yeah buddy

any advice is useful

[shadow mantle]

Is it possible to “negotiate” merit scholarships?

[simple lantern]

Didn’t say that mate - negotiating lower tuition via UK offers is a strategy that has work for others in the past.

[shadow mantle]

For northeastern specifically

[simple lantern]

What?

[shadow mantle]

That’s my own question

Wasn’t replying to your question

[simple lantern]

I’m not interested in negotiating NE down, what I was enquiring about was using either offer (Edinburgh or NE) to try lower tuition for BU

[simple lantern]

oh lol

yes you can it seems although some say you can’t

[simple lantern]

check PM

[twilit hinge]

yea this is true

I bumped into the microwave guy riding motrocycle if u know what Im talkin about

he kinda let me down tbh

[trim edge]

just saw that

[ebon wing]

Are you required to take a language course as part of the core classes at Northeastern?

[shadow mantle]

What is the tuition for international students at NU?

[trim edge]

million dollars a year

[shadow mantle]

Fr

Real talk tho, is it over 100k?

[trim edge]

little under id think

90ish

[shadow mantle]

Oh ok

Thanks

[twilit hinge]

depends on ur major

[untold shale]

hi all

question, can i get an MBA at northeastern in 5 years in additional to taking 2 co ops?

*im also planning to take summer classes at a cheaper university to save lots of money + time

[fossil zephyr]

Don’t think you can take summer classes at another uni

[untold shale]

???

how come

[fossil zephyr]

https://www.reddit.com/r/NEU/s/iXXvK9OHPy

does anyone know when they send out
National Recognition Program Scholar

[untold shale]

im so done bruhhhhhhhh

italy was approaching capacity last week (was reopened) now its closed again

and now scotland is getting taken too

and im not even committed

[trim edge]

bro gotta make a decision

id go germany

[maiden fiber]

y not commit yet

[lyric cypress]

I get it

I haven’t committed yet cuz I am not fully sure

I could hate admitted students day

[meager isle]

?

😭 what would you hate abt admitted students day

[trim edge]

have you commited?

[maiden fiber]

no

waiting for my financial aid

i intend to commit but im waiting bc i might change my mind last minute

thinking abt if i should go to neu and possibly take out loans or go to my commuter state school on a full ride

and neu has been my dream school but idk if its better for my future to just not be in debt 😭

also the public commuter school is like the punching bag school in boston

ur gonna find a lot of ppl shitting on it cus everyone goes to neu bu bc harvard mit tufts and think theyre elite

and its not even that bad of a school but wtv

[languid moon]

dont you have to speak german ?

how does international work

also are there more countries?

[grizzled bough]

State school wtf?

ur talking bout umass Boston right?

Easily that wtf

[maiden fiber]

yes

theres so many reasons why id pick neu over umb and while i could go to umb for free, neu is my dream school and i could feel contempt paying tuition for where i wanna go

but that depends cus i dont know how much financial aid neu is giving me yet

but i think ill get good aid cus my sai is 0 and im not dorming either so i dont have to pay room n board

umb is the total opposite of my ideal school and i just feel like neu is a better fit for my goals

[trim edge]

Do yk when your fin aid comes out?

Did you apply umass amherst)

Or any other decisions

[maiden fiber]

they told me first week of april

by april 5

yeah i got rejected from uma 😭

[trim edge]

Ig you’ll find out soon

[maiden fiber]

cs is tough

[trim edge]

Maybe mine gets revised

[trim edge]

Yeah Ik Amherst is good

But it’s not like a top top school

It’s worse than my state school for cs

[maiden fiber]

wouldve chosen uma over neu if i got in

[trim edge]

Why tho

You have sm more opportunities at neu with co ops and research

[maiden fiber]

bc their cs program is stronger i feel

[trim edge]

That ranking is so arbitrary 😭

It’s not like it’s gtech or UIUC

[maiden fiber]

in state tuition so way cheaper

[trim edge]

Oh yeah price as well

But you shouldn’t decide based of ranking imo

If it’s not a t10 cs school or ivy it’s all the same

[maiden fiber]

yeah but i think its def way better than northeastern

also #1 dining on some ranking site

mmmm

[trim edge]

😭

Food

[maiden fiber]

huge social scene too

[trim edge]

I think the opportunities at neu is much better@than the rankings of a school like Amherst

If I had the decision I’d go to neu over Amherst without respect to cost

[maiden fiber]

amherst cs program is stronger but neu is a good option for its co ops

[trim edge]

What does stronger mean

[maiden fiber]

like they invest millions into their cs program

[trim edge]

doesn’t every school?

[maiden fiber]

and im p sure theyre building a new cs building too

and their professors are p good

[trim edge]

I just don’t see the appeal for a school like Amherst

Even if it’s “ranked” higher for cs

[maiden fiber]

well idk maybe its just an in state thing

[trim edge]

Actually yeah

Cost is really important

[maiden fiber]

a lot of ppl in boston would choose uma over neu

i know a lot who did

[trim edge]

i see

if the price was comparable id go to neu

but its 100% cheaper for me to go neu than umass oos

[willow cloud]

How, did you get a scholarship for neu

[trim edge]

i didnt

[willow cloud]

How much is neu for you

[trim edge]

dw bout it

[dusky vault]

deeeefinitely not

never thought id have to reject a school with sickass aid bc they had like... 6 compsci ppl... who were taking the classes

[shadow mantle]

Did any of you “negotiate” for more merit scholarship?

[trim edge]

idt merit can be negotiable

do you need a concentration

[lyric cypress]

bro I cancelled my application to a school cuz I didnt fw the rep who came to my school

its legit a vibe thing

like I love my LMU and SMU admission people they are hella chill ive meet them a couple times

[trim edge]

pretty sure you cant do concentration if youre doing a combined major

[lyric cypress]

yea do

you do

like for biz if u look a poli sci biz major plan there is slots for concentration classes

[twilit hinge]

your concentration classes are essentially the upper classes that have been selected from both majors

so u get to ig dip a bit into both major concentration courses, but not all

[maiden fiber]

y does fafsa take so long to send our fafsa to schools like is it that hard to send it over the internet idk

[meager isle]

i personally would look at the school as a whole, unless everyone at the school is like the rep

[lyric cypress]

well yea ofc

But it was USD

[untold shale]

northeastern haspretty good food too

i visited 2 years ago and last year they have plenty of places to choose from

[trim edge]

seen a lotta people complain

but their menu looks decent

[untold shale]

i mean they have several dining halls just in boston campus

better than some schools with just one lmao

[trim edge]

yea

people love to complain

[frank warren]

NEU or BU for comp sci

[languid moon]

which one is cheaper

[trim edge]

you got bu in your user

sounds like yovue made a decisino

[maiden fiber]

neu

[fossil zephyr]

honors college ?

[frank warren]

Honors for both

[fossil zephyr]

oh shit

[maiden fiber]

i feel like neu has a better social scene + co ops

[frank warren]

Well if I asked I’m still considering

[fossil zephyr]

i think BU better school overall

NEU better for stem

[frank warren]

Really

[fossil zephyr]

thats what i have seen

im in same situation but not honors college

#954425230896545792 @frank warren post in here , see what other people think

[frank warren]

Gotcha thank you

[frank warren]

It’s tough isn’t it

Aid comes down to same too haha

[maiden fiber]

o damn i thought bu would give more generous aid

[frank warren]

BU is 4k higher

Too insignificant to make a real difference

[languid moon]

i mean ig it comes down to the vibes of each school

[maiden fiber]

bu's dining suck

but also ive never had neus dining so cant compare

but neu has a better campus

[trim edge]

isnt northeastern really really good with aid?

their package beat the net price calculator

[maiden fiber]

idk a lot of ppl have told me its not good

my friends sister is considering transferring out of neu into bu bc they offer better aid

[trim edge]

i mean its all different for everyone so you cant ccompare tm

dam

idk mine was really really good

its cheaper than my state schoolf i i dorm

[fossil zephyr]

when does neu send out all financial aid packages

[maiden fiber]

ive only ever heard bad things w neu fin aid so idk! from ppl ik irl

[trim edge]

if your sai was 0 then itll prolly be pretty good

did you do css?

[maiden fiber]

yea

[trim edge]

did you do the net price calcualtor

[maiden fiber]

no lemme do that rq

might not rmb so financial information

some*

[trim edge]

should give you a good gauge of your price range

apparently its like 90% accurate to what you have to pay

[maiden fiber]

oh fr

[fossil zephyr]

whats the link

[trim edge]

search up northeastern net price calculator

[empty wing]

well then why tf is the calculator telling me to pay 46k a year with 0 sai and 35k income

[trim edge]

You’re in the 10%

Submit an appeal

[empty wing]
