This page will be continually updated as it is discussed in our meetings and in response to reply letters. The ideas discussed here are strictly here for discussion and are not those of Northeastern University. Feedback is encouraged. In order to take advantage of the university as an undergraduate a freshman must quickly adapt to a completely foreign environment. It is so drastically different most don't even notice it even after they leave.
Opportunity starts with a living being, a monkey for example.
They can learn many tricks and in some reseach labs they are even reported to be able to count. So we know a monkey can be taught to count. What students must realize is that they are human, capable of such abstract concepts of infinite space and time. Humans are capable of creative, reflective and developmentive thought. And the most imporant benefit is perhaps just being able to understand the concept of civilization on the planet we named earth.
