I think any type of person can attend this school as long as they work hard. The university has a variety of different programs and majors to choose from. If you put in the effort, I believe anyone can be succesful in their desired degree. The school is welcoming and accepts a variety of people. Perhaps the only other trait I could think needed is to be open minded to accept everything and one who is there.

Kimberly

Anybody can attend this school. The students here are very diverse in many ways (different ethnicities, activities, ideas, etc.). One major activity here is to attend the hockey games. It is not necessarily but its a big part of the student group and even if your not interested now, you will love it when you come here. The only thing that is really necessary to attend here is being able to brave the cold weather conditions throughout most of the year. Otherwise, anyone will love it here.

Megan

Northeastern is the sort of university that can be good for anyone. However, it is also very easy to get lost in the crowd. The most successful students at Northeastern are those that know how and when to stand out, and how to ask for help. All of the professors are ready and willing to help you but often won't offer without invitation. Northeastern literally has something for everyone and is unique in that it gives you a taste of the city without robbing you of a campus. We have plenty of greenspace and beautiful buildings to compliment it.

Norhteastern is for students who want to get a lot of work experience, who want basically a guaruntee that they will get a job upon graduation. It is expensive and intellectually challenging.

Melissa

The kind of person that should attend this school has to be willing to work hard, but also know how to have fun. The school work can be demanding but if you have the determination to stick it out to the end it will be worth it. At the same time, you can't go to school in Boston and not experience the city. Northeastern is in a big city but when you're on campus it still feels small and safe. If you are looking for the best of both worlds then Northeastern is perfect for you.
