Northeastern is a strange school. In some ways it feels too much like high school. In other ways it feels too much like the real world. Other colleges I've been to have hippys protesting things, large green quads where people sit and chill. People live in dorms. At Northeastern most of the people are Engineering, Business or Law. Their intellectual curiousity is limited to what will make money as quickly as possible. It is just about impossible to get housing so you end up living in an apartment. In the end you just don't get that college atmosphere you find at other places. Oh there are bongs, hacky sacks and finals.. but something is missing...
