what I wish I knew before going to northeastern...

I realized after editing that I didn't say explicitly if Northeastern is a 'party school' or not. I think it really depends because there are students that party hard, but there's still a community for people that don't want to! Basically, it's what you make of it so it can be a party school if you want haha.
If you go to Northeastern and you disagree with something I said, feel free to comment it below so prospective students can see more of what actual students think! Other than that, I hope you enjoy this video :)
Let me know what school you'll be heading to (hopefully) this fall! Thanks so much for stopping by, and I’ll see you next time :)
