Thinking of going to college but just trying to figure out which one will suit you best? It is a hard choice especially for seniors because time is moving fast, and seniors you want to start writing your applications.
People like Wesley D. Roy, assistant director for undergraduate admissions at Northeastern University (NEU), will help you make the right choice for your college. On the 12th of September, Wesley D. Roy came to visit Schutz and talked to students about NEU.
NEU is located in Boston, the capital of higher education. Northeastern University is ranked among the top 100 national universities. Northeastern’s 67-acre campus is surrounded by many areas for entertainment that are only a ten-minute walk away such as the Museum of Fine Arts, Red Sox baseball games at the Fenway Park, Landsdowne Street, and many more.
Northeastern University‘s academic programs are divided among 6 colleges: College of Arts and Science, Bouve College of Health Sciences, College of Business Administration, College of Computer and Information Science, College of Criminal Justice, and College of Engineering. NEU offers 70 majors in different subject areas. There is also a Gateway Faculty that is specialized for freshmen.
Northeastern University offers a Co-op Program in which you can experience your major by actually working for a company. The Co-op Program help you see if you are satisfied with your majors and like what you are doing or will be doing in the future. For one semester, students have school and then in the second semester they go for the Co-op Program. This program also allows you to work for more than 2000 Co-op locations nationally and internationally. There will also be a Co-op advisor who will work with you throughout your studies and will help find the best experience for you.
NEU has 230 clubs and organizations, which make students not only involved in their studies but also in their social lives. New England sports community is an important part of Northeastern. They field 19 varsity teams in NCAA Division 1 sports for men and women. There are also 27 intramural and club sports that students can participate in such as soccer, basketball, and rugby.
Admission to Northeastern University is very competitive, 3400 apply but only 2800 are accepted. NEU take students with a GPA average from 3.5-4.0. SATs are required from an average of 1160-1320. ACT is not required but should be taken. Applications for NEU look for improvement over years, or if you do well and fail one year students need to explain why these changes occurred, for example tragedy, moved to a new school, etc. If you apply before the Early Action that is from November 15- December 15 you might receive an academic and athletic scholarship ranging from US$5,000 to US$43,000.
The process of selecting a college is very tedious, so students should be very careful in what they choose. There are many colleges out there for different types of people and Northeastern University is definitely one that should be taken into consideration.
