I can tell you that the business school is more selective. That's all I know though, sorry.

I feel the same way! Yah does anyone have any insight?

As a freshman, you will live in a centralized location "the freshman quad" with many other freshmen. This makes your first year a great opportunity to meet a ton of friends, and there is definitely a huge sense of community! Make sure to put yourself out there, and these relationships will last through college. Otherwise, the community really "shines" through when there is warm weather, with students out on the quad etc. But when things get cold, campus definitely feels a little empty. My reccomendation would be to check out a fraternity/sorority, which is growing rapidly at Northeastern! That way you are part of a close-knit fraternity group, Northeastern as a campus, and the city of Boston as a whole!

I don't feel like there is a community. I feel like it's more like a commuter school. Everyone is really into their own thing. Sure you hang out with people and stuff but everyone is out for their own self interest. What I've found in a lot of clubs is that people join so it looks good on their resume.

Technically it's a lottery but when you sign up for dorms, you can put down preferences.

thank you!
