Northeastern University (original) (raw)
The strength of a Northeastern education is our experiential learning model—it enables you to explore your path, find your passion, and acquire the skills and knowledge that prepare you for a lifetime of success. Experiential education is centered around your success. Powered by our signature co-op program (real world experience, often paid, and deeper than an internship) and fueled by your inclination for exploration-driven excellence, experiential learning at Northeastern gives you an edge that will set you apart. There’s no other university experience quite like it. Our graduates prove this every day.
Whether you’re walking the grassy quad en route to class, traversing unfamiliar roads halfway across the globe, or moments away from a breakthrough in the lab, it’s your experiences here that give you a leg up. No two educational paths are the same.

Northeastern University Reviews
Rating 3.75 out of 5 3,796 reviews
Northeastern's academically rigorous environment is exactly what I was looking for when applying to schools. It's location in Boston provides an incredible landscape to the college experience and allows so many amazing opportunities, both socially and career-oriented. It's co-op program is so unique and helps catapult it's students into the workforce. It is a bit hard to join some social communities on campus, but once I joined clubs that I felt reflected who I was, I found my people. Northeastern definitely has its flaws, but I love my school!
Review Northeastern University
My experience at Northeastern University was very great. I had an amazing guide who knew the Northeastern Campus extremely well and I got a good sense of what being a Husky felt like. As a student living on campus, you get access to a large variety of foods at different restaurants located around the campus. There is also a never ending amount of activities that you can participate in. Being a University in one of the major cities in the United States, there is always something different students can partake in every day. Sports games such as Hockey and Basketball are very popular the Northeastern Husky spirit is great. Off campus, students are able to attend concerts and events as well as explore the large city of Boston. Northeastern University offers more than 325 majors which is much larger than many other colleges around the area. Academics are definitely a priority at Northeastern and most majors include a study abroad program as well as research opportunities.
Northeastern does a really amazing job of allowing students to have a global experience. I personally was able to spend my first year abroad at the Northeastern London Campus, which was absolutely amazing and so unique!
