BOSTON —Come to campus for the family weekend festivities, stay for a graduate degree.

That's the idea behind Northeastern University's newest tuition discount, which will give a 25 percent break to the parents and siblings of undergraduate students if they pursue a degree in almost any of the school's graduate programs. Northeastern said it will unroll the discount starting in spring 2016.

Officially called the Lifetime Learning Membership, it's meant to show parents that the university is looking out for them, too.

"We wanted to provide opportunities so they can continue to invest in their career goals and invest their lifelong learning goals," said Sundar Kumarasamy, vice president of enrollment management at Northeastern, a private university of 20,000 students in Boston. "We don't want to them to be delayed."

3. Nice! Did you do any off campus internships for credit?

4. Nope.

At that time I was working full time and going to NU full time - I received my diploma four years after starting.

5. Respect.

6. Just remembered the story a former co-worker told me about her own college experience.

I think she had several jobs, including cleaning office buildings at night and working for the woman in whose home she was living. She said "I hear other people saying 'I breezed through college.' I crawled through."
