real real
lmao i was such a protein fein last year bc i was bulking
kinda nice they also still have 10 dollar tender box at popeyes
i would have chicken for 2 meals a day most of the time 💀
but the dining halls helped with that they always have chicken
oh W
thats rlly good
oh if u mean the grilled ones then yeah
yea
those were ass
the main station ones were better
yea fr
and IV has some more variety
It feels too demotivating to even go to IV anymore
overall id say IV has better food
but sometimes steast is better
oh yeah felt
esp if ur in steast
i would literally just go down and eat
or get one of those red boxes and eat in my room
W
best hack fro another upperclass
yeah
like it can hold anything tbh
and yelled at someone from taking fruit from the dining hall
which is insane
like bro we're paying for this shit
IS SHe theo ne whos like telling people to push in their seats and stuff cause of fire hazard

maybe?
the rlly loud one right
ok thats actually dumb, cause I remember speifically people can just take and go but not like a whole batch
yea
thats like the boss
ig who watches everything
yeah ive seen her yell at the other workers too
yuppp
you can tell they all hate their job
bruh they give u mad staredowns
which i mean, if i were working in a college dining hall i would hate my job too
I was gonna ask for more chicken one time and saw her eyes and was like yea nvm
ig yea, but the iv people seemed so much happier
i asked for 2 pieces of chicken
like they wer all speaking canto and stuff happilly
and theyre like "no only one piece"
fr
Ig coudl just go back to get 2nds if they forget
fr
idk maybe not
but he was hella chill
loved that guy
actually friendly and polite to people
lmfao
yea people mentioned this one worker in IV being super nice could be him
the one we were talking about earlier
ohhh yea
bro yells at ppl for no good reason
fr do u want us to waste ur food like bruh we paid for it
mm smart
theyre prob from the 90s if i had to guess
At first I was kinda scard to taking stuff from dining hall so I had to use the builtin forks in the instant noodle cups LOL
😭
thats some amazing lore
tbf tho between paper plates or reusable plates we gotta stay green
reduce reuse recycle
so real
tru tru
that motherfucking popeyes at curry is a scam
and i stand by that
you shouldve seen the literal DIME sized nuggets i got once
in roxbury? they practically give you tender sized nuggets
bc they still had meal exchanges
NO THIS TOMFOOLERY HAPPENED 2 SUMMERS AGO
where
oh I only get the tender box at popeyes so I dont know about the nuggets
another location
washington park mall 😭
ok bet
it is the most ghetto popeyes in the city
but so worth
I have this sip club at panera, before I even pull out my phone they hand me a cup without asking
😭
luckily for u the 23/28 is free
idk how long tho
was free last year too right
yes
never been on it but i always saw it at ruggles
turns out its free till march 2026
oh sick
Roxbury 💀
one time I went there for a track meet
me and the boys went to get food
no because one time i was walking to that popeyes and got catcalled by TWO SEPARATE PEOPLE BACK TO BACK
and one of my friends got harrassed by a drunk dude to give him money
oh hell nah
this one ancient old guy and this one younger looking guy
and i was in like 8th grade at the time
the people in roxbury are cooked half the time 💀
actually one of my friends got mollywhopped by a crackhead yesterday lmfao
is this a banned word what
😭
but the food goes hard ash
😭
that you cant deny
cause theres some immature users in this server that abuse it
💀
boston g00ner activities
😭
bro once my friends and i had the excellent idea of walking down mass ave at 2am
o hell no
saw some random mf passed out on the side of the street
ok but r we talking bmc mass ave or symphony mass ave
this was near mass ave station
then some homeless guy almost chased my friend down
near mass and tremont
closer to symphony than bmc yes
theres the expensive south end and the subsidized south end
bmc mass ave is crazy
never been there on foot, only driven through a couple times
ngl when i realized south end isnt entirely rich it kinda blew my mind
bc i think a lot of ppl just see columbus ave and assume thats the whole south end
meanwhile mass and cass is still technically south end 
or border of it at least
can someone help me with understanding my aid package?
where does it say the actual cost to attend
does this mean i got 41,000 in grants?
yes
it doesnt say the cost of attendance on there
should be here: https://admissions.northeastern.edu/cost-financial-aid/
Tuition and Fees along with financial aid opportunities and information for Northeastern University.
so ig just subtract ur aid from the amount on this page
😭
that would suck lol
90k is not worth it for this school
or any school
unless ur loaded
yeah thats crazy
hi nice to meet you
i didnt get financial aid anywhere unfortunately lol
now grnated there are definitely people who could use it more than me but paying less never hurts haha
oh rip
yeah, valid
i’m sort of stuff on my loci
it’s recommended to add updated achievements
but there isn’t really much
the only thing is that i’m finishing the semester will all A’s so that’s something
yes
i checked previous history it’s either gonna come out feb 5th or feb 12th
😭
i got 2 other decisions in february and I have a trip towards the end👨🦯👨🦯
I got ED into NEU. Do I need to withdrawal all my other applications now ?
You should do it once you have a fin aid package
So if you have one that’s satisfactory then yes
Am I the only one who got deferred?
wait how did u get that already
Anyone else get a non binding offer. London was #1 and we got Boston. No financial aid offer, but we did the early read. We have a non custodial parent waiver so that may be the hold up.
you can see it when you pay your deposit
wait where
on the portal or somewhere else
bcs i didnt see anything new
also is ur fafsa shown as awaiting or received
awaiting
it’s on the portal
On the right
It’ll say view your financial aid letter
when ea come out
we ball then
late january
bra
im in the trenches so maybe not
I think they are need aware so they do factor that in
it says they are awaiting my non custodial profile but when i go to css profile
everything is already submitted
and i submitted it like end of november
wait why did it send twice
ngl i didnt complete idoc till like 3 days before decision day so maybe not as much 💀
NU.in kids don't get govt aid for their first semester
once they're in boston they are eligible for FAFSA aid
but school based grants and scholarships are always available to them
this also applies to london scholars kids -> no govt aid for the first year but school based grants and scholarships instead
ig its diff for everyone then
i got it in an email
i didnt bruh
northeastern will not compensate for anything lol
mfw they deny my fin aid appeal three times in a row 
guys if i get a c in a class will they revoke my acceptance 😭
nope
nuin kids get jack shit
so far i havent met a single person who was nuin and had any aid
hi!! i’m on here now as a first year at neu but it’s so cool seeing the college process as someone who made it out of the other side. congrats everyone!!
i was rejected from my ed1 school and was absolutely convinced i wasn’t getting in here but luckily i was accepted through ed2 at the boston campus :)
got deferred but hopefully i get accepted through ed2
no youll be fine dw :)
i am pretty sure they outline the terms of admission in the portal, it should have the grade requirements in there too
and even if you fall below the threshold you can always talk to someone about it, all will be okay
yeah trust me! i had really bad grades in my senior yr. i got an email explaining my circumstances but i dont think they actually rescind unless your grades are like f’s
ngl this is the reason i stick around here too
i had horrible anxiety about it so if this helps anyone i’m glad
ye
i didnt think i would get in either
somehow managed to
also, senior year grades are chill as long as ur not failing
C is fine
idk man
unfortuantely i assume so
but if ur an excellent student
then theyre going to focus more on that rather than ur income
I ED2'ed and I got deferred ED1
Just idk where to submit continued letter of interest + an update on academics and achievements
I can't find any places to upload updated resumes
And whatnot
i don’t see the upload documents anymore
^
but the deferal letter said to do it jan 1st
how cooked am i applyign to ea
my parents didnt let me ed anywhere
so i had to do ea for all schools
ngl very
unless u like showed a lot of demonstrated interest
I applied ea 😭🙏
cuz they tend to defer a good chunk of kids ea
i oepened emails
thjats like
it
id register for a visit on ur behalf but i cant get rescinded like that
low income too 🙏
what if i just like
register for a tour
then dont go
and then gaslight them
and say i went
they take attendance
say u came inlate or sm
I emailed admissions
which they preferred through email or the portal
yeah everything opens again after jan 1st
I live in florida and northeastern is still my top choice should I make the trip in january to go take a tour of the school?
To show that I really care and they accept me through ed2😭🙏
Alright appreciate it
Best of luck for us
they preferred email?
nah i asked which one they preferred
but I probably won’t submit my loci until the second semester starts
they said not to fall below a c but are not limited to just that
so i can add updated grades and im volunteering somewhere so i might add that
but i don’t know if I should make the trip to the school
huhh so did they say they preferred teh email or the portal ?
btw what does neu send for acceptance packages? also how long does it usually take after getting ur acceptance
haven’t responded yet
I toured one of their campuses and maybe it gave me a boost
like honestly idk how I got in and yall got deferred honestly
cuz my stats are not that good
what were your stats?
They have virtual tours.
I had a job, was on the track team and ran a food drive
oh yeah i’m gonna sign up for it then
that’s just aura then
😭😭
what did you put for campus preference
I remember our tour guide had never been to Boston and only did virtual tours
Boston
Oakland 2nd and nu in third
my ec’s was a coding project, 2 businesses, 700+ volunteer hours, fundraise money for youth programs, and then some 1 on 1 convo with senators that helped water down some aggressive bills
i switched my campus preference to any campus
maybe they want more out of me said they are basically gonna end up paying everything for me
cause i am very low income
ur essay was prob good
and also ur income matter
President of 4 clubs, 3.8 unw, 2 internships,
Deferred
Test optional so that might be the rzn why
def crazier than me
I think
Bc my counselor didnt send in my senior year term 1?
I looked at the uploaded materials and it never indicated any thing new
Its alright we got babson on dec 15th
😎
r u international
No i live near boston
I don't have the money for it
1st gen asian, fafsa sai score -1500
Kinda in the dumps LOL
bros just like me
probably wanted to see if spending all that money on us is worth it
i thought they had good aid..?
😭🙏
everyone who i asked who was deferred needed some pretty hefty aid
It's alright, doing us a favor tbh
No 80k a year bill
Binding
Still i wanna go 💀
they pay 100% need
yeah i don’t really wanna go to international because of that reason
0 aid provided
no way I could afford a semester
😬
is it too late to do qb...
jk
same but this aid thing is making me a little antsy
in the process of learning everything about northeastern i fell in love with it more than BU
have like no time to weigh my options
what do u think sets northeastern apart
i def need a lot of aid but i submitted aid docs late so i dont think they factored it in
I wanted nu for internship opportunies
Phae you dserve it
and thats amazing and we love that
vibes
Don't down urself
anybody who gets in definitely deserves it
from what ive seen, bu has a better rep but smth abt neu
same for me cuz i think besides co op bu is a bit TOO MUCH city
brick city + jenga building
bruh i might be umb bound nbs
did u get deans
northeastern just got aura I used to be obsessed with BU
ngl go where the money at
same
ggs it’s something
did anyone get straight up rejected
i have to accept the offer to fill out in state forms
or did they defer everyone
i have a friend that goes to umass boston
oblivion but he was intl i think
oh i thought he got flat rejected
yeah he did i checked
ye bro got rejected
he dm'ed me lol
rip
W congrats
Thanks and accepted to fsu like 30 minutes earlier
not so bad day to makeup for yesterday
northeastern still number 1 tho😭🙏
jesus 😭
how defer bruh
i didnt even send in my senior grades at all
income MIGHT be part of the reason
but
heres the thing
i got a shit ton of aid
despite being like middle class
i can share info in dms if u want
I don't mind it
me either
Is ed2 harder?
probably
i can share my stats in dms if anyone was really curious but idk how u got deferred yo
yoo stats reveal
STATS REVEAL!!
no but a large part of me didnt think i would get in bc of my income
im not that wealthy
could you share them
tbf admissions always is a coin flip
ya js dm me
4.6 W 1590 SAT 🙏
I had 5 volunteer hours idk man
true and I am like upper middle class
you deserve to be there tho
JESUS CHRIST LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO
I already did the hard work this semester
I wanna go to uiuc 💯
sobro dd NOT ed everywher
😭
are you full pay
that might have been a factor
@gray vortex do we accept umb offer even if we haven’t decided
cause this the second school where it gave me the accept offer
and i don’t know what to press😭😭
is nu accelerate worth doing
these arent chelsea fan stats
LMAOO
liverpool fan in disguise 🤫

Chelsea fans get nothing bro ❤️🩹
Why are you a hater 💯
I hate cucurella
I hate cucurella

that is so 💯
those who know:
Still who water
Mango. Mango. Mango.

My bad bro

Well that would mean you are in state i believe
those who Massachusetts:
Does northeastern look at demonstrated interest for ea?
What
What
Those who know
Those who snow: ⛄️
Those who grow: 🧍♀️
still mango
Vro
I get it
yoo quick q how did you get like 80k/yr
and harvard too
I’m crine
Ok so cancel these tours
No
why
Why would u
just to see
Oh ok i get it
where did you apply
SAK PASE
i applied to
university of west london
and birmingham
mayhaps???
are you intl
AYEEE 😆
i live in fl
so basically international
oh
LMAOO LOWKEY
the second worst state of all time
what’s the first
#1 new jersey
i get it..
where r u from
what’s wrong with jersey
It’s a jersey thing..
im from mass but i live in california
best state of all time ngl
?? cali?
absolutely
go back to mass?
yea
best academics best weather best opportunities best vibes
how
cuz i like it and for northeastern
well
yah i agree
have u ever been
not in a min
i was thinking of applying to some uc’s but i heard everyone drives
and i don’t wanna bring my car
i was until i saw that oos tuition
i aint paying 70k for ucsc
When you’re beautiful you will find a way
yeah california is a hell on earth
San Francisco is great
i agree
yea san francisco is so pretty but so many libs😒😒😒😒
same with massachusetts lol
idk about that
no i swear
hmmm MA has the best education, salary, quality of living, safety and unanimously votes democratic in every election 🤔
not to get political or anything
those who know:
safety is also suprising
LOL
ok idk about safety
i dont think those two are true but
still one of the best states
it’s really pretty
in the summer months its really nice
it looks like europe 😆❤️🩹
also has a very high COST of living…
LOL oh well
not really i don’t think
well it was a different kind of humidity…
because people make good money + high demand
in europe people pay + 30% in taxes for free healthcare
its not a “cost of living thing” its a quality of life thing
i suppose so
but boston also has a shit ton of issues
educational inequity has been something bps has been tryna tackle and fun fact that shit has NOT been working 😭
nah its definitely a cost of living
its abnormally high
like aint nobody forgetting boston was, in addition to the things mentioned, ALSO dubbed most racist city in america
not to get political ofc
sure boston has problems but i was talking about Massachusetts
massachusetts is also p crazy tho
You cant use the los Angeles homeless crisis to make a generalization about California
well
exactly ❤️🩹
california is a huge state
honestly the homeless problem is all over the state lmao
so is MA arguably
multiple massachusetts can fit in california
yeah mass is really small
but tbf you go out over to springfield and it is really bad
u can drive from boston to albany in 3 hours
only a few major us cities have “solved” large scale homeless crises
obv not as small as ri but 💀
theres 0 bro
nah from my house san francisco is around 40 mins it takes 40 mins to go from providence to boston lol
in my opinion i think MA is a pretty good state
atleast for higher education
but thats just my opinion lmao
for colleges obv its amazing
pretty good is underselling it
its the birthplace of many vvvv good schools
my only problem w attending neu is ik NOBODY is leaving the northern half of the city for shit
ong
albeit a smaller one but still
nah bro dorchester is peak
NO CUZ
i saw this thrifting street interview
ngl i cant lie when i visited over the summer dorchester actually got way nicer
some guy attending neu was talkin ab how dorchester the best place to thrift n shi…
damn bro
No You Didn’t.
dorchester
nahhhh all my friends would tell me how lit it was
character development and the like
character development or lame gang activity 😭😭😭
i love mattapan despite it all 💔
hii is anyone going to nuin for first semester??
or like if anyone got in and wants to be friends!
im not doing nuin but id love to be friends!!
lolnyc
@toxic quarry
god damn
based on that then
i should get like a full ride lmao

idk how yall are getting ur financial aid packages already
WAIT HEYY UR NEU 29
ed2 ne after nyu rejection
surprise!!
do i have to withdraw all my other apps now that im in ed
yes
once you commit you have to withdraw
ok
yall NEU is my first choice next year and I'm taking the ACT is 2 days
Do you guys think applying ED while being a double legacy would make up for a 32-34?
they don’t care about legacy at all
Cuz I'm really not confident I'll score a 34 or higher so I'm mildly panicking 😭
Also isn’t a 34 a good score?
I've been misled 💀
It's NEU's average but the issue is I don't think I can get that
i'll probs get a 32 or 33 and it's stressing me out
lol I feel you I went test optional
I'll be lucky if I can get a 34 or 35
I had a 1340 SAT that I didn’t submit
hmm ok this did not soothe my doubts much 😭
cuz I was mildly banking on legacy carrying me
That’s why the average is so high
woah really? that's interesting
Would a relatively high-ish test score, ED, and some mid EC's be good enough for admission?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I have some pretty rigorous academics ig but I kinda figure that most applicants do
yeah I mean considering there’s no supplementals the way they get to know u is through ecs and essay
I'm in a rural area so my ec's are kinda ok
there's just not a lot of opportunities for me
sigh I don't know if my essay will be good enough
i mean, id imagine they take that into consideration
it wouldnt be fair to directly compare that to someone from the bay area for example
I havent received any information regarding my cost or scholarships yet
Im an international student and i just got my acceptance through ED
However, I dont know my Cost of attendance. I also dont know if i got any scholarships from Northeastern. What do I do? Should I email them?
wait a couple days and reread your letter to see if there's any info about that
wait is this true
i didn’t know this i thought u HAD to withdraw other apps regardless
this literally was me last yr lmao. still lowkey upset about that rejection
yes yes yes take advantage of it!! it’s completely free and i was able to get 8 credits before coming in the fall. the classes were asynchronous on canvas so not the greatest but it’s worth it
Hmm alrightt
do u guys think i would be missing out on a lot if i commuted to neu for my first year because i live close enough
are you even allowed to? I heard that they require dorms for the first two years
I live close enough to and i heard if u can live in like a 30 mile radius u can commute
But im planning on talking to a financial officer about it and if its worth it
yes 💀
housing is like 20k 😭
holy smokes
do u think it would be worth it to commute and still pay 70k or break ed and go to state school like i rly dont know 😭 and its just undergrad so i'm like is 70k every year rly worth it for undergrad when im probably just going to get my masters anyways
Aren’t there like serious consequences for breaking ed?
I’m not sure but i really don’t think i can afford this. I asked the mechanic and he said i should still be able to apply to other schools
Do you know ahyone who has had a similar situation?
I googled it and it says breaking ED will hurt your reputation and you won’t really be able to go to that school for graduate
somehow after getting into college my grades are dogshit now
lol spring senioritis is crazy
i had it so bad that i got a B- in one of my dual enrollment courses bc once i knew i was passing i just stopped doing discussion posts
no like
its the tests before i got into neu
then i got the grades back and they are just ass
just submitted my app lol
i mean unless you quite literally flunk out it’s hard to get rescinded senior year bc of grades
theoretically if i get 2 Cs this semester would i get rescinded
ive had As and Bs every year
you’ll be fine
i almost failed junior year and i got into northeastern w a scholarship lol
what were your stats if u dont mind me asking
do u think it was a good decision to go to ne now
yeah but better not being able to go to that school for grad than being 200k in debt 😔
3.8 uw & 4.8 w, test optional, and pretty average ecs (mostly volunteer work and a part time job)
yes i do! i think that the quality of education is likely the same at other schools but i do love the untraditional college experience with the co op program as the focus
thanks
Have you gotten your aid package yet?
where do i login after i claim my account
Yeah they gave me nothing and I saw that they don’t negotiate aid at all
Oof you could probably talk to them about it so you can break ED more amiably
They’ll be more understanding if your financial aid package is just not enough
Yeah im hoping for that 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙂↕️🙂↕️
wow they make a letter for withdrawing
no
Dude idek if I can get even a C in math
I’m cooked
i’m so glad I locked in hard this semester makes me look good when they look at my application again😭😭
cute
Cure cancer
you can’t really control that
anything is possible
be poor
they wanna be extra 😭
its ok i thought that as well but i got in
😭
i hope u did good on ur ACT
🙏
For anyone who got deferred the admissions office told me to submit your loci to their email and upload a copy in your portal under other
but would have to wait until January 1st when everything opens again
we still in this game
show up at their doorstep and beg to be admitted
email guess the admissions team and send them personalized emails
they have a list of whoever read ur app
by region, so i mean if that’s the start
strat *
yeah I found my regional AO but they don’t have personal emails
ofc they do u just gotta find em 🤫
hmmm
does anyone know when i would get my financial aid package
idk lol they updatei t whenever they feellikit
wait I didn't know that so I searched and the ao is so random 😭
like they're in charge of my state
but also three rando countries in europe
and shanghai 💀
wait what do you even email the admissions team?
like a whole email glazing neu?
help idk i’m just messing w ppl
I've heard of people like emailing the admissions team if they got deferred before but idk what they actually email them about
i’m just being annoying but ppl should just submit their locis as requested idk
I've also heard some people email like before they get their decision as well
just email a letter of interest
state that northeastern is your top choice and you will attend if you end up going (worth more if you do ED2)
and list some accomplishments you did senior year so far and grades
there’s some templates on the reddit
ahh so is that what you send if you get deferred?
yes
ic ic that makes sense
you can send a letter rn even if you haven’t gotten your decision yet
