Northeastern University Reviews

"Gordon Leadership Program offered a great challenge and valuable work experience."

"The careers service provided by northeastern university is top class! Since northeastern is at the heart of Boston, transportation and the surrounding area, technology in class and safety are really good. However, what I didn't like is the fact that its very expensive to stay off-campus near college. But, you can always stay far away from campus and travel to college by bus or MBTA which is pretty convenient for me."

"I should say the administration here in Electrical & Computer Engineering program (the program where I am)really disappointed me. Admin people here always look busy and slowly response or never response to students' request, and they seems like have no patience to people with color."

"Northeastern MBA program is a good program in Boston. The academic quality is high and the culture is diverse. The good things about the program is it's small and the career services spend sufficient time to help you to land the job. The bad things is some lecturers do not use power point slides and it's hard to understand the lesson."

"The program is well suited for my needs and provides me with a good foundation to build upon."

"Pros: Great program, the teach practical knowledge that easily applied in professional world Cons: Living cost is dying"

"I have received a lot of support from my classmates as well as my Instructors in all of my classes. As an older student, I have benefited from all several different departments at Northeastern University."

"Northeastern's program in higher education allowed me to gain the foundation needed to work at a University. The network that they have for internships and partnerships were key to my success within the program and after graduation"

"I'm in the Three Seas Program, best decision I ever made. Really hard work and expensive, but worth it!"

"The graduate program provides you with a mindset to enter the workforce that you would have not been able to engage in otherwise."

"This program, although it is competitive, is extremely well run. The faculty and staff are supportive and always available, and the classes are efficiently run and always of the highest quality. In addition, the university is located in close proximity to some of the best hospitals in the country. So all of the clinical placements that are available for students to participate in are extremely well done."

"Currently enrolled in the Plus One program for chemistry. I have just finished the undergraduate portion and will complete the graduate portion next year. However, as part of the program I have already had to take 16 credits of graduate level courses and have been working on research that will be a part of my Master's thesis. My particular program only applies to people who attended Northeastern as an undergraduate. The courses I have taken are some of the same that would be taken by students in the PhD program. I believe Northeastern has a great program and the classes are of high quality. I don't think you'll be disappointed in an education here and the school is very popular with many companies in the area.The biggest downside is probably living expenses (located in Boston so rent is expensive). If you are in the PhD program then tuition is covered. That is no the case for my program, however, and the cost of attendance is rather high."

"Northeastern has a great graduate nursing program that is well recognized throughout the Boston area. Faculty are amazing and extremely willing to help. It is expensive, but the quality of education that you receive makes up for it. Highly recommend the graduate nursing programs!"

"This Physician Assistant program is highly competitive and rightfully so; A PA that graduates from Northeastern is gauranteed a great job and is usually held in high regards. This program really prepares their PA students for life as a practicing PA."

"The pros are that the Gordon Engineering Leadership Program in conjunction with the Chemical Engineering Grad program puts me at a very competitive place and gives me overall skills that look good on a resume. The cons are that financial aid is a bit stingy compared to the cost of living in the Boston area."

"Northeastern University is a wonderful place to learn and further one's career. In the school of the nursing the class sizes are small so the environment is intimate which makes it less intimadating to learn. The school is located in the hub of public transportation and the campus always feels safe. The program itself (adult nurse practitioner - primary care) is very rigorous but there is a ton of support and faculty there that just to see you succeed. Financial aid for grad students (as it is everywhere) is scarce so you really have to work hard at applying for scholarships. One of the main factors that led me to choose Northeastern University is its ability to work with part time students and figure out a program plan that would not only allow them to pursue an advanced degree in nursing, but also continue to gain experience working as a nurse."

"The co-op program, whereby you spend some semesters in school and others working at paid internships, is a unique and highly beneficial facet of a Northeastern University education. It allows you to spend more time living the college life, but allows you to get valuable work experience and try different fields, during that extra year of putting off your entry into "the real world". Over the last 15-20 years, Northeastern's campus has transformed from a bunch of dumpy looking office buildings on busy city streets, to one of the nicest urban campuses in the country. While being located in the middle of Boston has always been a huge plus, the urban oasis that has been cultivated by the University makes me jealous that I graduated just when the transformation was beginning."

"The pros are that Northeastern University has a stellar program and I'm also in the Gordon Engineering Leadership program which is the opportunity of a lifetime. The cons are that rent is VERY expensive in the Boston area, car insurance is also expensive, and it can get super cold."

"Law School program is rigorous, yet rewarding. The faculty and support staff are more than welcoming and willing to assist with any problems you may have. I wish the school and surrounding area was a little more diverse, but with a significant cohort of international students it isn't that bad."

"University does not provide sufficient scholarships funds. But there are many on-campus jobs available through which you can support your education. University have very nice co-op program and many tie ups to help build your career. Overall its a nice and decent university."
