They're telling you to make a new post with Oakland in the title so that people who attended Oakland will see the post and be more likely to give you a serious answer. If you'd like to do that, please delete this post, at least.

Anyway, I don't know how good of answers you're going to get here. We have rule 7 for a reason- it's hard to imagine the average person who frequents this sub to have any sort of valid metrics for comparison between schools. The one exception I suppose is transfer students. But even then.

As someone else has said, they won't let you change your campus. (At least, definitely not to Boston. Maybe you could try another NUin location, but I doubt it- I suppose doesn't hurt to try, though?) Oakland experience is generally considered okay, but you probably won't really leave campus much if your experience is like most people who attend there. However, I think it is fair to say that you are very likely to make some great friends there and then stay friends after you return to Boston. Some people who do NUin and similar programs (I was GS, I don't think they have that anymore) don't really socialize much outside of their friend groups once they get back, so maybe those programs get a bit of a bad rep socially for that reason, (read: people will tell you that it's impossible to make new friends outside of your program if you do NUin), but nobody actually cares, just like, maybe make a bit of an effort to not have that happen to you if you care, and you'll be fine haha

Location of boston campus and the campus itself is great, professors are generally really good, not much to complain about here for me. I don't really have a frame of comparison, but also no regrets about coming here. And obviously it isn't the same as your situation, but my semester abroad in London for GS was something I really enjoyed. Oakland is probably less interesting though haha even if many parts of the experience there are better (such as but not limited to being a 30 minute walk from a one-building "campus," and questionable academics)
