Today, Northeastern got itself some nice presence over the web.
A few days ago I was proudly posting on my own Facebook page that Northeastern University ranked better in Google than Boston University (our rival, hence the reason why I am not linking their page to their keyword, keeping all my organic search efforts for MY school here) - to which I received sarcastic comments such as "I do hope students who Google "university" go to NU". Ahem, point taken. But I know from what school I'd be happy to receive my marketing education - oh wait, that's the school I graduated from last May. Score.
Anyway, today Northeastern was very much present on the web. Amongst the e-mails I still receive from them about books and breakfast with the Basketball team - e-mails that Gmail finally understood NOT to put in my priority inbox - Facebook was put in the loop as a video started to spread around the network.
I was quite happy that Facebook now stacks all related posts under one line (you notice this when it's one of your friends' birthday with whom you have 65 mutual friends and your news feed is not flooded) because I am pretty sure the entire Northeastern network ended up sharing this video at one point of the day or another - me included.
If you go to NU you know what video I am talking about, this kid - probably a BSBA - spoofing the song "Empire State of Mind" to describe life at Northeastern University.
I am not saying I enjoyed the voice singing the song nor that he should go to American Idol, but I honestly admit it brought back some very good memories and it was nice reminiscing about the last years.
If you haven't done so yet, check out the video here:
The other mention I am writing about is this Boston Globe article talking about international students. A French student from Northeastern, Alex Souetre, was interviewed for the article, comparing the cultural differences between American and French jobs. You can read the article here
