Northeastern University (2023-2024)

[trim edge]

i wouldnt know then

youre gonna have to wait till you get your package

and then make a phone call

i might appela too

yeah im really really grateful

[lyric cypress]

im not geeting shit and I make less than 200k

getting

its so fucked

[empty wing]

how much ur paying

[real oak]

what about family assets? mine is about the same but my family has no assets except for a house

so so grateful for the aid, wonder why it’s so different for you

i basically only have to cover room & board

just ran it through the npc & it was close but a couple thousand off of my actual package

[ebon wing]

Does Northeastern accept transferred credit if it is a pass with no grade

[untold shale]

bu has a well regarded honors college

kilachand right

or whatever its called

[untold shale]

i got a house and both my parents make over the amount that he said so

im cooked

🧑‍🍳 🔥

[trim edge]

bro i got like 60k

while making over 200

theres sm factors that go into it

its not just income

[lyric cypress]

Im aware its not just income

we have several million in real estate and other assets

[lyric cypress]

full pay

[trim edge]

well yeah yall are good 😭😭

you dont need fin aid

[lyric cypress]

bruh that shit aint liquid

several may be a strecth several if u include primary residence

But i understand why i dont qualify

[trim edge]

have you committed yet?

[maiden fiber]

several million

[lyric cypress]

nah

next week

[lyric cypress]

my parents make it out to be like nothing like we in poverty so idk

[trim edge]

id go iukelly ngl

[lyric cypress]

like honestly size and location is such an issue for me at indiana that ill pass on kelley

[trim edge]

much better for business tho

[lyric cypress]

I also feel ill do much better in life cause of who I am as a person going to NEU over Kelley

[trim edge]

kelley is pretty good

[lyric cypress]

kelley is great

but on poets and quants the only valid ranking imo NEU is only 2 spots lower

Also im business and poli sci

I cant get a diverse education at IU

It takes 5 years to grad if u double major in diff schools

also IU other than kelley, music, and nursing is ass

also even with rankings, rankings are so fuckin irrelvent the connections Ill make in boston are worth going over kelley

its also boston

@trim edge

[fossil zephyr]

ya i agree

[lyric cypress]

yall do know college is more than just rankings right, its how much you like a school. Like I get it if you need to pull yourself up from poverty but I am already very well setup in life no matter where I go its just a choice of where I want to go.

[ebon wing]

Why is political science so popular at northeastern

[lyric cypress]

Cuz of combined majors

Business and Poli Sci is a super good well rounded major

I know multiple kids who went to goldman from NEU with that major

[ebon wing]

Yeah that’s what I’m doing I didn’t think it was that popular

I’m just doing it because I have so many transferable credits

Which could be a bad thing or good thing

[lyric cypress]

yea that makes sense

its good I thinj

Im adding it cuz people around me always said I should do it my biggest extracirrular was government based but I just hate politics thats why I never thought to pursue it

But im super exicited to study it something I couldnt do at IU which was a big reason for me

[ebon wing]

Yeah it’s good to learn new things

I hope my philosophy credits knock out the mandatory writing course because that would come in clutch

I know NEU is kinda strict with credit transfers though so it’s just pick and choose what they take

[lyric cypress]

bro LMU core cirrculum goes crazy im still waiting on my honors college descion

[lyric cypress]

ye im tryna do summer classes while Im there but ima get them all preapproved before I sign up

[ebon wing]

Good luck!

They just handed me a two year scholarship which is nice I guess so they probably are generous with a lot of people

[lyric cypress]

i got a super small schlorship cuz I didnt qualify for any jesuit shit which is dumb my dad used to be one and work at LMU, and I didnt get a ton of merit and i dont qualify for need based

[shadow mantle]

Is it too late to apply for financial aid now that decision has come out?

[twilit hinge]

Nope

But the earlier u apply the higher chance u get more money

[maiden fiber]

with fafsa delays u could prob get still get it in cus its getting processed more quickly now

but like no ones fafsa has been received by neu yet so i think you still have some time just get it in asappp

[grizzled bough]

Accepted to northeastern waitlisted from Bentley

Crazy

[trim edge]

decisions are random

[maiden fiber]

not bentley 😭

[trim edge]

whats bentley

[maiden fiber]

business school in ma

[trim edge]

every school in ma

[trail cave]

Anyone had their fafsa received by NEU?

[trim edge]

you had yours?

[trail cave]

Just says waiting it should be done processing 🤞

[trim edge]

same

mines been processed but its still saying awaiting

theres another delay on fafsa

[round wyvern]

are you guys planning on doing 3 coops in 5 years or 1/2 in 4 years

its paying for the same amount of semesters right

[empty wing]

I’m doing 2 in 4 years

[maiden fiber]

prob 2

[round wyvern]

so im doing cheme + data sci

but for that major i can only do one coop in 4 years or 3 in 5 apparently

for regular chem e i can do 2 in 4

[shadow mantle]

How do I apply for fianacial aid if I did not when I first submitted the application?

[quaint geyser]

idk how many coops i can do for pharmd

since its 6 years

[trim edge]

imma see if i can do 2 in 3 years

or 3 in 4 years

[dull owl]

im currently doing 2 co-ops in 4 years, and expected to need to take 4 classes more in order to graduate in 4 years. so im doing two in the summer and two during my co-ops (one class each)

[languid moon]

Boston campus ?

rate the dorms/food

[round wyvern]

idk if i should prioritize the helpfuld ouble major or two coops instead of one

[trim edge]

Depends on your majors job market

[round wyvern]

chemical eng + data sci

i could also just do 5 years 3 coops

it would be same tuition right

[trim edge]

There the major not the job market

Do you wanna go more into chem Eng or data science

[round wyvern]

chem eng

my relatives who are chem engs told me data science will help me a lot

[twilit hinge]

u can take a class while on coop?

[dull owl]

as long as it's a class you can take async! you can only take one though

[twilit hinge]

Ooooh ok

that makes sense ig its like nu accelerate

[dull owl]

depends on the dorm - for example IV feels like a prison (best views tho), West Village B feels like a nursing home, Sheraton is huge and comfy but like, it's a hotel

steast is okay, i just get fed up of the food easily because a lot of it is the same (ex: pasta/pizza daily)

IV is hit or miss, could have the best meal of my life one day or i could be having leftovers the next

[twilit hinge]

Oh how do the swipes work

[dull owl]

meal swipes?

[twilit hinge]

yea

like I heard u can get 12 which is the standard but does that mean we can only swipe once a day?

[languid moon]

ohh a hotel one

does the hotel one have a shower in the dorm

[dull owl]

you can swipe as many times as you want per day, the 12-meal plan is that you can use 12 meal swipes per week, so they reset every sunday

sheraton kids get to do the 7 meal plan though which is good for me personally

[dull owl]

yes 😋 and quite literally the IV room is as big as my bathroom lol

[twilit hinge]

can u take leftovers out

[dull owl]

we set up an air mattress for our friend eho lives in IV cuz he doesn't like his room lol

[languid moon]

how do i get lucky, and get sheraton dorms

[twilit hinge]

I heard sheraton has a lot of nuin

[languid moon]

is it only for juniors/ seniors ?

[dull owl]

so there's a bunch of ways to use them: on-campus restaurants (such as popeyes, subway, etc), give you certain items as a "meal" and that counts as one meal swipe (think of a happy meal, basically main food, drink, and side)

[languid moon]

so you are limited to 12 meals per week ???

[dull owl]

you can use the grubhub app and connect your husky card to order ahead

[twilit hinge]

ooh ok, so u only get 7 happy meals a week/

?

[dull owl]

i promise you you'll have a hard time using them all 😭

i can barely finish my 7 per week

[twilit hinge]

fr?

[languid moon]

no i meant like 12 meals per week ?

like 2 meals per day ?

[twilit hinge]

cause let say I eat 2 meals a day

thats 14 swipes needed

[dull owl]

for freshman year it's totally random, i was nuin greece though so i got the sheraton, lots of upperclassmen here though too

[dull owl]

yeah but i also bring food from home so that's prob why

[twilit hinge]

oh

ig Im not always eating at dining hall either

[languid moon]

is the meal swipes per restaurant

or per week

so 2 meals per week

[dull owl]

you can use a meal swipe at a restaurant only once a week

the rest you can use at dining halls

you can choose to use your husky dining dollars though if you want another restaurant meal

[twilit hinge]

ok that sounds alr

[dull owl]

so you also get husky dining dollars which you can use on campus, AND at an insane amount of places off campus as well

and you can also use regular husky dollars at convenience stores on campus

[languid moon]

how do you get that

[twilit hinge]

are the husky dining dollars predetermined based on ur plan or its just comes from personal account

[dull owl]

you can buy a oozi container but like, just bring your own container and bring food out lol

[twilit hinge]

yea thats prob what imma do

lmao

[dull owl]

predetermined based on plan

[twilit hinge]

alr

[dull owl]

i deadass steal 3 bananas a day lol

[twilit hinge]

thats good to hear

[languid moon]

so only 2 meals per day ?? im confused

[twilit hinge]

dining hall wise

[dull owl]

husky dollars are alotted already and dining dollars depend on ur meal plan

[languid moon]

like a buffet ?

[twilit hinge]

yea

[languid moon]

oh okay

[twilit hinge]

do the husky dollars reset weekly or monthly

[dull owl]

you can go to the dining hall and use up to 3 meal swipes per day

[dull owl]

husky dollars are a set amount, once you run out you'd have to add money from your own account

[languid moon]

for the 12 meal plan ?

[twilit hinge]

ohhh I see

[dull owl]

yep exactly like one basically

there's a bunchhh of other places to eat but i still haven't explored all of the options yet

[languid moon]

so i would have to stock up on some food

from the buffet

[simple lantern]

does anyone pay for neu less than 30k tuition

is that even possible

[twilit hinge]

time to grab some tupperware

[simple lantern]

do they do that

[dull owl]

up to 3 per day at a singular dining hall

[twilit hinge]

I know someone goin there for like 5k

[dull owl]

yes that's possible, i pay $33k but im set to get more

some of my nuin friends went for $7k

[simple lantern]

if you dont mind me asking

[languid moon]

im low income, so i would go for free

[simple lantern]

whats your family income?

[dull owl]

up to you!

[simple lantern]

im middle class so im pretty fucked

gotcha

makes sense

thank you

[twilit hinge]

Yea I aint getting aid 😭

[dull owl]

ofc! feel free to dm or @ if any questions

[languid moon]

have you seen people get off the waitlist

[twilit hinge]

Middle class can be annoying

[simple lantern]

honestly neu seems like a cheaper option than bu

[dull owl]

wait list or deffered?

neu is better <3

[languid moon]

waitlist

[simple lantern]

well

[languid moon]

rd waitlist

[simple lantern]

i prefer bu cause law school

but

i wouldnt complain abt getting into neu

[dull owl]

i personally don't know anyone who has because i just haven't heard of it

[simple lantern]

i actually thought abt not applying here until BOSTON UNIVERSITY decided to up their tuition over $90k 😍😍😘😘

[dull owl]

over???

[simple lantern]

YEP!

[twilit hinge]

Wut

[dull owl]

what's sticker price rn?

[simple lantern]

sticker price?

[dull owl]

like for tuition, base price

[languid moon]

and there are no single dorms in shertaon ?

[twilit hinge]

It said estimated 87k rn

[languid moon]

also have you been to the Oakland campus

[dull owl]

jesus

[twilit hinge]

Tuition is 67k

[dull owl]

no unless u wanna be put into a safe room 😭

[simple lantern]

i just wanna be a boston baddie

[dull owl]

i have not

[simple lantern]

i take my words back neu i love you neu i would die for neu

[twilit hinge]

Aishii idk if u know this but where do cs kids go

[simple lantern]

@charred mulch

[twilit hinge]

Like are we getting shipped off to midtown still

[twilit hinge]

I think tuna is in steast

[languid moon]

?

[simple lantern]

steast?

[twilit hinge]

Its a dorm

Just idk if white hall comin back

[dull owl]

you'll be a Boston baddie here <3 honestly neu is better than bu imo because it's much more downtown with pretty city but campus is still it's own thing and not in the ghetto

[simple lantern]

HLEP ME

see the thing is bu has a t30 law school

and i also have

a pretty good essay idea for bu

[languid moon]

are you transferring ?

[dull owl]

boston uni is like all over the place. feels like NYC and some areas deadass have u thinking u need to keep a glock in ur pocket

[simple lantern]

yes

if i get rejected im finishing up my associates and trying again

[dull owl]

Stetson east, dorm and dining hall

[twilit hinge]

What is going on in bu 😭

[dull owl]

depends on spacing, no dorm is guaranteed

[simple lantern]

thats the dream!

ok wait but

[charred mulch]

yo

[dull owl]

i don't know that's why i don't like it 😭

[simple lantern]

e die has question for cs

[charred mulch]

ok this is complicated

they used to be in white hall

which got flooded

[twilit hinge]

Yea until the flood

[simple lantern]

see the issue with bu is that for how expensive it is, they have crazy deflation too

[charred mulch]

so now theyre kinda all over

[simple lantern]

its well known in the area

which SUCKS

[languid moon]

so you can transfer after freshman yr ??

[simple lantern]

why are you $90k+ and giving us deflation

[dull owl]

im gonna be honest dorms really aren't separated by major anymore

[charred mulch]

a lot got moved to steast, ev, midtown, etc.

[simple lantern]

depends. we’ll see how boston university feels in december

[twilit hinge]

Is stwest a possibility tuna to be sent to

Im gambling cs for steast

[charred mulch]

yeah

[twilit hinge]

Worst case i go homeless

[dull owl]

nuin always fucks the separation so you'll always have a mix of every major, which who cares it's not an issue

[charred mulch]

ur guaranteed housing in first year

and second for that matter

[twilit hinge]

Oh true

[simple lantern]

neu housing is my biggest concern

[dull owl]

right like huhhh 😭

[shadow mantle]

How’s the dining hall food at NEU?

[twilit hinge]

Ok what would be worst dorm

[shadow mantle]

Why?

[dull owl]

idk i haven't seen them all yet

[languid moon]

rank the worst to best dorm

[simple lantern]

they think they’re ivy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 (ivies give inflation)

also BU just seems depressing

[twilit hinge]

I think this might vary a lot

[simple lantern]

but law school is depressing

[dull owl]

^

[simple lantern]

its a match made in heaven for me

[twilit hinge]

I was just wondering what would be the worst out of the ones I might endup at

[dull owl]

def just person to person, ex: i hate west village B but my friend likes it

[twilit hinge]

Oh

Aint that the one directly on campus

[dull owl]

so it's really not a best/worst type thing

[dull owl]

mhm but so are most others

[twilit hinge]

True

[dull owl]

it's just midtown and sheraton that are more out of the way than others

[charred mulch]

west village has some of the nicest dorms on campus but ur not getting that in ur first year
unless ur nuin and they put u there in second sem

[twilit hinge]

Alr imma let my friend know that

Cause hes nuin and was like where im goin

When he comes bacj

[languid moon]

i looked up sheraton, and it looks really nice

[charred mulch]

agreed

[dull owl]

depends which west village u get, if u get the nursing home apartment it's not the best 🤣 but yep it's upperclassmen

[twilit hinge]

I like sheraton view

[languid moon]

but maybe its because i like the hotel feeling

[charred mulch]

the dining hall foods are decent

but

it gets old

[dull owl]

this was day 3^

my room rn

[twilit hinge]

Is this a triple

[dull owl]

Basically rhe same just more decoration

no it's a double we just have a needy friend 😭

[twilit hinge]

Oh

LMAO

[empty wing]

its co ed?

[charred mulch]

midtown and sheraton have big ass rooms with private bathrooms but theyre farther out

[dull owl]

he lives in international village but stays full time with us 😭

[dull owl]

no 😭😭😭

[charred mulch]

so getting to class (esp in winter) is a pain

[dull owl]

imo it's worth it, tram and bus are always easy options

[languid moon]

nice

[charred mulch]

yeah true

[languid moon]

and your own bathroom

[charred mulch]

imo if ur going for location then steast is the way to go

[dull owl]

true and i like their dorms

[charred mulch]

yeah

im in steast rn

[twilit hinge]

Steast looks overall awesome

[charred mulch]

its pretty nice

yeah

[twilit hinge]

And convinent

Dining hall on first floor

[charred mulch]

you just gotta deal with communal bathrooms but you get used to that

[languid moon]

can you show me a pic

[dull owl]

oh shit actually?

[twilit hinge]

I didnt get a pic of the campus tour dorm

But uh idk maybe tuna could

[dull owl]

idk if i can ever live with a communal bathroom

god bless nu.in lol

[twilit hinge]

Oh shit

Which dorms have communal

I heard they said some do some dont

[dull owl]

idk cuz most dorms I've visited have had their own

[charred mulch]

yeah steast has communal bathrooms lmao

so do most neu dorms

[dull owl]

haven't seen a communal bathroom yet

[twilit hinge]

[charred mulch]

the ones that the nuin kids end up in tend to have their own bathrooms

[dull owl]

wait so ur entire floor uses one?

[charred mulch]

no theres 2 on the floor

[grizzled bough]

Denied from kelley.

[dull owl]

i see

[grizzled bough]

https://tenor.com/view/cyjspriv-gif-22644394

[charred mulch]

this was my room when i first moved in

[twilit hinge]

Damn

That looks noice

[grizzled bough]

That tuition money coming in handy

[twilit hinge]

@languid moon

Oh u here nvm

Ye the pic above

[languid moon]

do you know anyone who isnt in nu.in that is in sheraton

[grizzled bough]

Sheraton?

Like the hotel?

[languid moon]

the hotel dorm

[charred mulch]

yeah they put some ppl in the hotel

[languid moon]

too me it looks really nice

[charred mulch]

either sheraton or midtown

[charred mulch]

funny enough i have a pic of the tour dorm as well

[twilit hinge]

Oh ye this

[languid moon]

does northeastern own the hotels?

or is it a partnership?

[languid moon]

thats nice

[charred mulch]

yeah

for boston ppl (excluding honors) i would say steast/stwest/speare is the best choice

[languid moon]

and during the co ops, do you get to stay in your dorms ?

[charred mulch]

first years dont do coops so it wont be these dorms

but if ur living on campus as an upperclassmen and ur coop is in boston then yeah u can still live there

after first year most ppl live in apartment style dorms

[languid moon]

what dorms are apartment styles

[charred mulch]

none of the first year ones

after that theres a ton

[dull owl]

oh yeah bunch of people

[languid moon]

so like do you get a single room, and a kitchen

[fossil zephyr]

@dull owl if you go to nuin and come back do you get shit dorms

[charred mulch]

west village, lightview, davenport, willis, etc.
more than i can name

[charred mulch]

not necessarily a single (although this is possible) but youll get a kitchen

[dull owl]

no im chilling and living life in the sheraton 🤣

[charred mulch]

you can get a single in an apartment but youll just have to pay more

[charred mulch]

they actually get some of the better ones lmao

[fossil zephyr]

LETS GO

[fossil zephyr]

what nuin location did you go to

[languid moon]

this is light view

[fossil zephyr]

woah

[dull owl]

greece!

[languid moon]

nice

i see where the money is going lmao

[charred mulch]

yeah lightview is hella nice
just be ready to shell out a lot of money for it

its like 7k for a double and 8k for a single

per semester

[dull owl]

funny enough nu.in kids usually get upperclassmen dorm picks too

and then we can do the 7 meal plan instead of the 12

[fossil zephyr]

side note if im thinking about changing my major to computer science -> computer science and business administration should I email anyone

[dull owl]

davenport is nice too I think

[fossil zephyr]

oh damn

i would think opposite

[charred mulch]

ye davenport is nice from what ive heard

[dull owl]

you can literally just change it on your portal but it'd be good to email counselor too so they can guide you

[dull owl]

i did too but yeah we all got lucky and im very thankful lol

it's why im not pissed off by neu yet 🤣 genuinely enjoying my time here

[languid moon]

so since you are neu.in, where did you get to go

[dull owl]

i went to greece!

[dull owl]

idk why this is so cute to me hfkdhdkd

[languid moon]

do the co ops affect fafsa ??

[dull owl]

wdym?

when ur filing it?

[fossil zephyr]

sorry if this is a dumb question but where do you typically find that?

[languid moon]

when you make your own money

[languid moon]

yeah

[dull owl]

it would be on your application portal until you get an actual husky account

[fossil zephyr]

ah

[dull owl]

honestly speaking im not too sure about that, i could ask my fin aid person tho. but realistically i don't think we'd be making an amount that's going to affect our fafsa at all

[languid moon]

yes

i saw some guy on reddit say he made like 50/hr

cs btw

[dull owl]

😩

i wish lol

i think it's time to take my daily evening nap 😴

[languid moon]

and co ops are for 4-6 months right ?

no Summer breaks ?

[lyric cypress]

Cs co-ops are cracked I’ve heard

[lyric cypress]

If u want

[languid moon]

yeah, apparently the guy made 50/hr and bought a car

[lyric cypress]

U need to really do summer classes to grad in 4. Years if u doin co-op

[lyric cypress]

I will be using my co-op money to pay for housing and anything I have left is going straight into my Roth IRA

[languid moon]

yeah i want to be in light view if i get off the waitlist

50/hr is crazy,

[lyric cypress]

Yeah I’m not gettin that shit tho

I’ll make like 20 something an hour probably

[dull owl]

6 months, u can have ur summer break

[lyric cypress]

My cousins friend was biz tho and had a crazy co-op in consulting where he made like the equivalent of over 100k a year

[dull owl]

damn

but do keep in mind cs is sooo over saturated so that one guy just got lucky asf

[lyric cypress]

Some of the BCG co-ops pay that I heard like after you’ve done 1 or 2

[lyric cypress]

Yeah cs is ngl 1 way trip to unemployment unless ur hella cracked and have connections

[dull owl]

for the people who wanted to see the view from the sheraton^^^ im on the back end unfortunately, but i would say it's still very pretty

[lyric cypress]

It’s the same for finance

I’m aware

[dull owl]

(yes we are hatching sea monkeys)

[languid moon]

boston is very walkable right ?

[grizzled bough]

Ohio State full tuition scholarship or Northeastern basically full pay can only afford 200k

[dull owl]

yep! trams and busses everywhere too

[lyric cypress]

Ohio State

Not close ngl

Wait what’s ur major again

@grizzled bough

[grizzled bough]

Finance

[languid moon]

ohio state

[lyric cypress]

Yeah Ohio state

[grizzled bough]

Why

[lyric cypress]

Ohio state biz is hella good

[grizzled bough]

Northeastern has more prestige

[languid moon]

full tuition

[lyric cypress]

And full tuition is crazy

[languid moon]

its what you do with your college experience

[lyric cypress]

I’d go anywhere pretty much if it was free

Besides UW of course fuck that school

[grizzled bough]

Not free it’s 60k in total

[lyric cypress]

Basically free in the grand scheme of college

[dull owl]

guys please don't care about prestige 😭

[lyric cypress]

60k is so light over 4 years

[grizzled bough]

Fuck but I love Northeastern

[languid moon]

so 60k vs 200k ??

[lyric cypress]

Then go where u love bro

It’s legit a fit thing

[dull owl]

if u want to come to neu come for the co-op program because it's a guaranteed job right after graduation, not for the "prestige"

[lyric cypress]

100 percent agreed

[grizzled bough]

Yes that is why it has the prestige

[lyric cypress]

Eh

The prestige is debatable

[grizzled bough]

60k vs 320k

[languid moon]

i mean as long as you arent going into debt

[lyric cypress]

Like neu was def not my top choice

[lyric cypress]

If I had to go into debt I wouldn’t have gone oos I’d have go to cc or my state school

[dull owl]

especially for premed students, the fact that we do our co-ops and then can immediately start applying to med schools after graduation because we already have our 1k clinical hours is literally heaven 😍

[languid moon]

what major

[lyric cypress]

Finance

[grizzled bough]

But ur a finance major

[grizzled bough]

Finance

[lyric cypress]

Yea but I can afford to pay

[dull owl]

when talking about prestige no one mentions neu. but once again at the end of the day no one cares about what college u went to unless ur being interviewed by an alumni

[lyric cypress]

If cost is an issue I wouldn’t go somewhere unless it was debt free

[languid moon]

so you would go into 120k in debt for neu ??

[grizzled bough]

But in finance it’s very different

[languid moon]

instead of going to ohio for free

[grizzled bough]

No I understand it’s not very smart

[languid moon]

?

120k is alot

[grizzled bough]

I’m thinking emotionally right now

[languid moon]

maybe 30k but 120k is insane

[grizzled bough]

If I’m in ra how much does it go down

[dull owl]

debt will never be worth it

[lyric cypress]

I get the emotional perspective that’s what I had for NEU over Indiana

[grizzled bough]

And co op

[dull owl]

like $10k lol

[lyric cypress]

Agreed

[dull owl]

Co op will also most likely be like $5k

im taking a nap gn y'all

[grizzled bough]

Oh my god bro

[lyric cypress]

My parents went to college for free and never had loans and I think it seriously attributed to there ability to have a ton saved

[grizzled bough]

Fuck me dude

[dull owl]

rainy day, comfy room temp, ambient lighting 😋

[trail cave]

I'm staying with my friend at the Sheraton on Saturday lol

[languid moon]

gn, also it must feel good to live in a. hotel like room, with a view

[dull owl]

omg come visit 🤣

[lyric cypress]

That’s cap bruh maybe after cost of housing

[languid moon]

and its raining nice

[dull owl]

it is definitely very nice

[lyric cypress]

The lowest biz co-ops pay like double that at least

[trail cave]

Friends a first year and did NU in so he likes it a lot

[dull owl]

[trail cave]

[dull owl]

[languid moon]

[lyric cypress]

Like not sure a total ammount but def higher than 5k

Like it depends

[dull owl]

very little and they teach basics

[trail cave]

I don't know how large nu in Greece was so your probably don't know him lol

[lyric cypress]

On the company and which co-op it is for u

[dull owl]

oh shit i know him! 😭 Didn't talk to him much tho, had no classes but saw him around

[lyric cypress]

Like if u work at BCG it could be hella

[dull owl]

it was big but everyone still knew each other

[lyric cypress]

Like 30-40k even

But that’s a great co-op

[trail cave]

Cool! He's one of my good friends from my hometown

[lyric cypress]

If it’s 6 months btw

[dull owl]

aww cute, enjoy 🥹

[languid moon]

35/hr 6 months

[trail cave]

Do you know a Niyati Payel per chance?

I also know she did nu in Greece?

[dull owl]

YES I LOVE HER

[lyric cypress]

Working how many hours

[dull owl]

she's so sweet, one of my first friends

[lyric cypress]

These places will work u like 60 hours min

[trail cave]

We had Ap bio together!

[dull owl]

she was on my floor

[trail cave]

Same hs

[dull owl]

AWW THATS COOL

[languid moon]

5 days a week 8 hrs

[trail cave]

Whattttt

[dull owl]

she lived like 4 rooms away from me 😭

[grizzled bough]

Holy fuck

[trail cave]

I blocked her shhhh💀

[lyric cypress]

For cs maybe but for consulting or ib u could be working easy 60-100 hours

[languid moon]

ohh

[dull owl]

omg 😭

[languid moon]

well thats for cs

[lyric cypress]

That’s like very very high end tho

[trail cave]

I uh find her rather annoying but shhhh

[lyric cypress]

I wouldn’t bank on that

[trail cave]

She is nice

[lyric cypress]

I’d bank on like having enough for housing and like a few thousand left over

[grizzled bough]

Is neu a semi target

[languid moon]

no

[trail cave]

I won't share everything though 😭

[languid moon]

its 7%

for some reason

[lyric cypress]

Nah

[trail cave]

Glad you are friends

[lyric cypress]

On paper it’s not a target of any kind but if u look at who actually works there NEU has an insane ammount of hires into elite banking and consulting

[trail cave]

I'm good friends with her boyfriend too assuming they are together

[lyric cypress]

Like more than a lot of targets

[dull owl]

i don't wanna talk shit so i won't say anything but yeah that's a funny coincidence 😭 was on my floor and everything

oh she never mentioned a bf

regardless!

[lyric cypress]

But if ur going pure IB is there any options other than Ohio state or neu @grizzled bough

[trail cave]

Cool coincidence

[languid moon]

has anyone gotten off the waitlist

[trail cave]

Unsure I wouldn't know 💀

[languid moon]

well if i dont get in, i guess i will trasnfer to other schools

[trail cave]

I still need to deposit

Hoping people get off wl tho

[lyric cypress]

Well I know hella kids who are boutta decline there offers so who knows maybe you’ll get one of em

A lot of my friends got in and none are going pretty much

[languid moon]

damn, probably why neu had a large waitlist this yr

or maybe its just this server

and even the wl people got into other schools they like

[grizzled bough]

No I’m stupid

[trail cave]

With fafsa delays less are enrolling

[lyric cypress]

Bruh u had 15 acceptances

[grizzled bough]

There’s Fordham I guess

[grizzled bough]

All shitty state schools

[lyric cypress]

For IB fordham is better

[grizzled bough]

I have to pay 70k a year

[lyric cypress]

Like what tho

[lyric cypress]

Yea no

NEU then over fordham

[trail cave]

My state school is horrible unfortunately

[lyric cypress]

My state school is great I just don’t wanna go

[trail cave]

Too close?

[lyric cypress]

Extremely

I was born on the campus

[trail cave]

I'm 5 min away from mine

[lyric cypress]

Yea I’m like 15-20 min away

But I used to be like 5

[trail cave]

I just can't even though is almost free

[grizzled bough]

what is ur state school

UW?

[trail cave]

Plus everyone from my hs goes there

[lyric cypress]

Yea

Or like WSU

[grizzled bough]

Damn bru U dub is really good did u get in

[lyric cypress]

I didn’t even apply

Which I regret

[grizzled bough]

UW has great research oops

[lyric cypress]

But I’m guessing I would’ve been rejected for biz

[lyric cypress]

Ik irs really good

It’s has a ton of downsides tho

[grizzled bough]

Some econ research woulda hit

[lyric cypress]

Like the area it’s in is super dangerous

[grizzled bough]

Can’t be worse than UChi

[lyric cypress]

Ljke I’ve been damn near robbed several times

Ljke knife and guns pulled on me

[grizzled bough]

Seattle can’t be that bad

[trail cave]

Cities lol

[lyric cypress]

Ehhh

Like it’s not

But there are pares

Parts

[trail cave]

My state school has no diversity lol

[lyric cypress]

And it just so happens the uw is in one of the worst parts

[grizzled bough]

Same with every city

[lyric cypress]

Like yea

But Uw is fun and all but again I’m sure I would’ve gotten rejected for my major

Barley anyone I know got into foster direct and we all instate

[trail cave]

Good rowing lol

[twilit hinge]

[trail cave]

It's a lot man

Especially collegiate

[lyric cypress]

Did you do it in hs?

[languid moon]

[lyric cypress]

It was cuz of Covid

[simple lantern]

[twilit hinge]

Also you get lik dining dollars and meal exchange?

Whatever that is

[twilit hinge]

tbh I feel like 12 swips is well enough tho

[trim edge]

What does that mean

[twilit hinge]

I think u can like use ur exchange swips for certain restaurants?

[trim edge]

Boutta use it at Kpot🙏🏽

[lyric cypress]

I’m so confused

How many swipes u get a week

[twilit hinge]

this varies based on the plan u choose

https://huskycard.sites.northeastern.edu/boston-traditional-meal-plans-2023-2024/

here

[quaint geyser]

my mom's trying to get me out of global scholars sos

[lyric cypress]

Yeah the website is so confusing

[quaint geyser]

she's on call with my auntie who's son goes to northeastern rn

[lyric cypress]

Ima be real I don’t think it finna work

[twilit hinge]

u cant change it kafky : (

[lyric cypress]

U can maybe get outta Oakland but that’s it

[quaint geyser]

I TOLD HER SO MANY TIMES

she's convinced it's gonna work

[twilit hinge]

guys u cant chage ur locations

UNLESS

[quaint geyser]

idc abt oakland LOL

[twilit hinge]

u have a super rare or special commodation

[quaint geyser]

GBEJAJKGBAEJKGB

[twilit hinge]

like if u were blacklisted form a country ig (Idk why they woul deven admit u)

[quaint geyser]

😭

[twilit hinge]

then ig u cant do the program

[quaint geyser]

i'm gonna bonk

watch me work my magic

[lyric cypress]

I know multiple people who got outta Oakland last year on global scholars

[empty wing]

Why

[twilit hinge]

oh

so they only had one semester?

THAT MEANS KAFKY COULD GET TO BOSTON EARLIER YEEEE

[lyric cypress]

Yea

[lyric cypress]

Wym why

They were given the option like unprompted

Guys is it unusual like like 10-20 people atleast form my school got into NEU

From

I’m friends with over 10 people that got in

[quaint geyser]

afaik im the only person who got in RD

the two other ppl got in through ED

I JUST WANT TO EXPERIENCE A WHITE CHRISTMAS FOR ONCE IN MY LIFEEEEE

or white winter

[quaint geyser]

[twilit hinge]

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN

[quaint geyser]

I NEVER SAW SNOW

WELL I PROBABLY DID WHEN I WAS A KID

IN KOREA

I'VE NEVER BEEN TO THE MOUNTAINS EITHER

we're visiting oakland campus next week so hopefully i can convince her to let me commit

[lyric cypress]

Snow goes crazy

[twilit hinge]

OHH Ok

[noble urchin]

bro both my parents went to this mfing school

and i got waitlisted

idk what else i coulda done

[lyric cypress]

Does legacy even matter

Also it’s out of a hat bro I’m telling u

There were wayyyyy more qualified people than me ik who got rejected

Like I had a 3.5 bruh

And I bad sat score

[noble urchin]

its fucked

i didnt even submit my sat i got like a 1300

[lyric cypress]

I submitted I got a 1290

[noble urchin]

i feel like their average is like 1450+

even tho thats still technically a good score

100,000 applicants is kinda insane

probably the highest ive seen

[lyric cypress]

Yea shit hella overrated

It’s like the 4th most applied to school I think

[noble urchin]

its crazy

RD went down to around 2% acceptance they said

so if you got in hats off

[lyric cypress]

That’s gotta be cap

I just don’t believe that

[quaint geyser]

no way

naur

w h a t

[noble urchin]

yeah one of my friends at bchigh said the NE admissions person that came to their school said 2%

i mean idk

[quaint geyser]

[noble urchin]

me fr

[lyric cypress]

That’s all hype bruh

[noble urchin]

wrote a solid ass "waitlist interest letter" tho so ill see if that helps

[noble urchin]

honestly the past few years in boston we've gotten barely any snow suprisingly

except its supposed to snow a bit this week which is odd

[maiden fiber]

when we got a snow day a month ago and it was supposedly gonna be a storm but there was not even an inch of snow 🧍🏻‍♀️

not complaining though bc snow in boston is awful

[noble urchin]

there were so many of those this year

although thats ideal, day off + decent weather

[simple lantern]

same here in maine

we have a snowstorm coming. In april.

but december-feburary barely had snow

[round wyvern]

me moving from california having never had snow ever to boston 😃

[charred mulch]

a lot of ppl eat 2 meals a day

[round wyvern]

it has been very rainylately

oh tunafish i have a question

do you know if like

in the catalog

the plans of study

those are the only available options

[charred mulch]

you mean the samples?

[round wyvern]

because for my combined major only 4 years 1 coop and 5 years 3 coops are there no 2 coops in 4 years

[round wyvern]

yes

[charred mulch]

those are just samples you dont have to rigidly follow that schedule

[charred mulch]

thats odd

[round wyvern]

yeah

[languid moon]

i think they mean dining halls

[round wyvern]

esp bc chemical engienering and the combined major both are the same amoutn of hours

but cheme has 4 and 2 listed while chem e + ds doesnt

[charred mulch]

yeah idk thats weird

[round wyvern]

but do people with combined majors like in general are able to do 2 coops in 4 years?

[charred mulch]

not sure how that major works but most ppl do 2 coops in 4 years

[charred mulch]

i believe so

[round wyvern]

alright ty!

[untold shale]

i gotta pay 50 for fordham

cus id be commuting

but nahhh

i got no scholarship tho

which was weird

i shoulda gotten hella from em

[trim edge]

Oaklands tuff

[charred mulch]

^^

only time a lot of ppl changed locations was this past year when they switched a bunch of global scholars ppl to (boston -> london -> boston) instead of (oakland -> london -> boston)

[shadow mantle]

Is it possible to do 3 coops in four years?

[charred mulch]

afaik no

that would be 5 years

[shadow mantle]

Is that even possible?

[shadow mantle]

How do i do that?

[quaint geyser]

its not possible

lol

idk why she's bothering

[shadow mantle]

Then why someone said they had two friends get off Oakland program?

[quaint geyser]

that was last year

[lyric cypress]

They give u an option

Sometimes

[shadow mantle]

Damn

When would that be?

When they give you the campus location for the first semester?

[lyric cypress]

Not sure

May or June

[charred mulch]

in almost all cases you cant switch your campus

last year was weird bc they overenrolled oakland so they moved a few ppl to boston (still global scholars tho so theyre in london now)

[shadow mantle]

That’s so nice I wish they over enroll again haha

[round wyvern]

as sophmores do most people stay in dorms

as nuin am i required to stay in dorms second year

[charred mulch]

yes

its usually required

but its possible to live off campus as a second year (not entirely sure of the process tho)

[charred mulch]

this im not sure about
but one thing i can say is the nuin ppl pick before the other 2nd years so yall have a better chance of getting the nicer 2nd year dorms

[trim edge]

depends on the number of credits

i think im gonna do 2 co ops 6 semesters class 2 semesters off

[round wyvern]

ooh which ones r the nice ones

[maiden fiber]

u could prob get the requirement waived

[charred mulch]

west village, lightview, davenport, etc.

keep in mind theyre more expensive tho

[languid moon]

wait can a Oakland student transfer to the boston campus after one yr

[charred mulch]

yeah if ur oakland u usually go to boston after ur first year

[trim edge]

yeah you got that option

[trim edge]

am i able to go back to oakland after i go to boston?

[charred mulch]

Idk how that would work

You could probably do a semester in Oakland again

[trim edge]

also am i able to do a semester abroad?

like not at an nuin location, but at a compleely different university

one that northeastern isnt affiliated with

[lyric cypress]

I’m tryna do an international co-op

Catch me in Tel Aviv

[trim edge]

imma be in ramallah

[languid moon]

they have a campus there ?

[lyric cypress]

Nah for a co-op

[fossil zephyr]

[maiden fiber]

[meager isle]

i think you can buy online like fanatics, travis scott website, and bookstore

[meager isle]

9am tmr

it releases

[empty wing]

what

[trim edge]

so you got 20k in aid from northeastern?

cuz it sounds like you got like 70k?

[maiden fiber]

idk what to think bc ik some ppl pay a lot more for college but 20k is a lot for my parents finances even tho they agreed to pay 2/3 of it i still feel guilty

[meager isle]

they were asking iff online

[trim edge]

all costs are like 90k full pay

and if youre only paying 20

musta got 70k in aid?

[maiden fiber]

nah my tuition is 40k they gave me half so i pay 20k

[trim edge]

oh cuz youre not dorming?

how is tuition only 40?

[maiden fiber]

yeah

[fossil zephyr]

anyone know how to get email

[maiden fiber]

i think its cuz my program im in is cheaper

[trim edge]

oh you got a lot of gederal grants

[empty wing]

how much did u get in federal grant

[trim edge]

bro i dont get any

im "high income"

200+

[empty wing]

wait u got no federal grant and ur only paying 20k? thats generous aid

[maiden fiber]

they gave me 19k on financial aid and so i pay 21k

[trim edge]

im paying 30

[empty wing]

oh thats still pretty good

[trim edge]

yeah its pertty damn good

[trim edge]

hmm

well i hope you join

ill see you fall 25

[maiden fiber]

yeah im deciding whether i go to northeastern for 20k or umass boston (low tier commuter school) for free

[trim edge]

whatre your other options?

[maiden fiber]

and ppl tell me loans arent worth it but idk northeastern has always been my dream and i think id be way happier there

those r the only options im considering

[trim edge]

will you have to take loans?

[maiden fiber]

yes

my parents say theyll pay 2/3 of it and i loan the rest

[trim edge]

so 2/3 20k

[maiden fiber]

6k in loans

[trim edge]

bro why cant i calculate this

holy shit im so rotted

ive taken every single math

and i cant do that😭

[maiden fiber]

also its only my first year and my tuition might increase after my first year so idk

[trim edge]

thats honestly pretty good

id say

especially with co ops

[trim edge]

northeasterns aid will match tuition increase

[maiden fiber]

nah its cus i’m in foundation year program for my first year so ill matriculate

[trim edge]

what is foundation year?

[maiden fiber]

they told me my tuition is bound to change bc of that

its a program for boston residents

we take gen ed courses our first year at college of professional studies then matriculate into a college within neu afterwards

one of the entry pathways like nuin and global except no one rlly talks abt it cus its only for boston residents

[trim edge]

oh so you wont take your cs coruses then?

[maiden fiber]

i am

[trim edge]

first year

[maiden fiber]

yeah

[trim edge]

HMMM

that puts youb ehind then

for co ops

[maiden fiber]

i matriculate into khoury my second yr

[trim edge]

what kinda creds are you coming in with?

[thin magnet]

how good is the northeastern pre med program

[maiden fiber]

yeah but also i was told i get my core classes out of the way faster so not really

[trim edge]

yeah

what classes are you coming in with tho?

[maiden fiber]

i have credit for ap csa and if i do well on my calc exam next month then thats calc 1 and 2

[trim edge]

csa doesnt get you out of anything

ig you can get your nu paths out the way

english

[maiden fiber]

🥹

[trim edge]

science requirements

so id take phys, engl, (nu path), (nu path)

and then second semester math 1365, and whatever nupaths left

[maiden fiber]

this a hard decision idk what to choose

[thin magnet]

how much aid are you guys getting

[trim edge]

if i were you id go neu

6k loans is not bad at all

i hate loans, but 6k is very doable

[maiden fiber]

yeah it’s just i’m not sure what my tuition will look like after my first year so im a bit uneasy

[trim edge]

did you get the northeastern grant?

as part of your package?

[maiden fiber]

ppl who have done foundation year said they had to transfer out bc of the tuition after first year

no

[untold shale]

bro 6k

i would cry from joy

if i could payh 6k a year

for college

lol

[trim edge]

oh shit this is only fora year

[untold shale]

for northeastern*

[trim edge]

this kinda dangerous

[trim edge]

youll prolly get it then after foundation then

[untold shale]

how did you get these grants?

did you negotiate anything?

[maiden fiber]

i’m gonna contact sfs tmr cus i think im supposed to have mass grant from my state aid too

[trim edge]

dude thse are federal

[maiden fiber]

no not at all

[untold shale]

is it based on income

you get 20k off or?

[maiden fiber]

yeah

[untold shale]

whats ur total
