College Prowler is the needed link between students and guidebooks. It’s students, writing for future students, about their student experience. It’s like having an older sibling that went to the school and is telling you all about it.

Product Description
Northeastern University Students Tell It Like It Is

Hey yiz, come to Beantown and have a wicked pissah time! Is this accent music to your ears, or nails on a chalkboard? Well, if you’re thinking about Northeastern, you should realize that there is so much more to consider about a school than what they tell you in the brochures or campus tours. The College Prowler guidebook to Northeastern will let you in on all the little things that add up to so much more as you spend your next four years in college!

Academics are an important place to start . . .

Northeastern is now recognized as one of the elite college options in the Boston area; the school is getting the recognition it deserves for doing what very few other institutions do actively finding jobs for students. And two words can accurately sum up the city of Boston: college town! Yes, Beantown is the ultimate place to be if you’re a college student. There are countless ways to spend your time.

And there’s the history and tradition of Boston . . .

Five Fun Facts about Boston:
1. Boston built the first subway system in the United States in 1897.
2. The Boston Tea Party reenactment takes place in Boston Harbor every December 16th.
3. The first church of Christian Science was founded here by Mary Baker Eddy.
4. There are duckling statuettes in Boston Commons (park) from the book Make Way for Ducklings.
5. The “Cheers” restaurant (from the TV show of the same name) is a real place where you can eat and get a drink.
But is Northeastern the place for you?

Find out what Northeastern students really think about their school…

“Northeastern has the benefit of being an urban university, and thus the local atmosphere is not limited to the campus pub and a greasy pizza pit. We’re a stone’s throw away from Fenway Park: the Green Monster, proud home of the Boston Red Sox. If you’re looking for a good taste of some Boston pride, swing by when the Yankees are coming to town. Not to forget the Celtics or Bruins, who play in the Fleet Center next to the North End (a short T-ride away), which, incidentally, is where Northeastern commencement is also held.”

“Oh, the joys of being young and in college. NU is full of attractive people, and most of them are just waiting to hook up. The problem is the communication; students seem to need some sort of dating guide, because both girls and guys don’t know how to treat each other properly. For every good relationship, there seems to be about ten bad ones.”

Find out if Northeastern truly has something for you, straight from the students’ mouths.Visiting campus isn’t enough.

  1. Xannon Says:

    Mostly accurate depiction and descriptions of the college.
    How about a photo or 2?

    Here’s an idea. Why not grant online access to the ‘08 version as a book purchase bonus. After all, the admissions/research process typically spans more than a single year.

    Anyway…we’re off to NU. Go Huskies!
