Northeastern University is a very good university, which belongs to the 985 Project in China, 2 1 1 project. It is also a two-tier institution. The level of Northeastern University in 985 University is at the lower-middle level, because Northeastern University pays more attention to science and engineering, and the strength of science and engineering is stronger than that of liberal arts, so overall, compared with other comprehensive 985 universities, the strength of Northeastern University is indeed at a weaker level. In the classification of double-class universities, Northeastern University belongs to double-class B universities. This is because only one major in Northeastern University has obtained a- level evaluation, and three majors have obtained A-level evaluation.

Northeastern University is located in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, China. Compared with most 985 colleges and universities, the geographical location of Northeastern University is relatively remote, so many students will not take Northeastern University as the first consideration when applying for the college entrance examination. Because colleges and universities will directly affect students' future employment areas, from the actual situation, most students are unwilling to stay in the northeast for development in the future. On the one hand, it may be different living habits, on the other hand, compared with some southern provinces, the development of Northeast China is indeed relatively backward.

However, Northeastern University is still a strong institution, especially some of its majors, including materials science and engineering, software engineering and so on. With very strong academic strength, graduates of these majors can have a good future. While other majors are relatively weak, students actually do not have an advantage in future employment.

Therefore, when choosing a major in a university, students who prefer liberal arts majors will not consider Northeastern University at first. However, if the candidates are from the Northeast, it is a very good choice to choose Northeastern University, because Northeastern University has a high degree of recognition and good reputation in Northeast China, which can provide great convenience for candidates to work in private enterprises, take public examinations or take postgraduate examinations in the future.
