Northeastern University Oakland — Attraction in Oakland

It is unfortunate that an institution of once great esteem is now scrounging pennies to keep their antiquated policies afloat. While I learned from many great women like Carrie Maultsby and Sarah Pollock, I also learned that they care more about keeping their benefactors happy than they do about their current students. If you’re hoping to study STEM and be empowered as a female in a male dominated industry, those opportunities are few and far between, as Mills is eliminating critical programs and brilliant staff in favor of niche programs with no future job prospects like “Book Arts.” If you recieve a large financial aid package from them as an incoming freshmen, do not take it.

This school is not set up to deal with working professionals, despite the quality of instruction within the actual graduate programs. And the cost is really unwarranted for graduate students who spend more time fighting with departments than...
