Northeastern is best known for the co-op program, which allows students to gain real world experience in their chosen field. These six month placements are full-time and usually paid, meaning the student can really immerse themselves in the job they have. These co-ops are ideal for students who want to gain experience as well as students trying to figure out what future career would be the right fit. Northeastern believes in experiential learning that is not limited to an academic classroom setting.

As a freshman I haven't noticed too many campus traditions yet, but my favorite so far is the annual underwear run! It's hilarious, a good workout (we run all over Boston) and for a good cause.

It's cheesy, but there's a golden statue of the King Husky in Ell Hall. Undergraduate students rub the Huksy's nose for good luck. Before leaving for job interviews before graduation, I would make sure to give the nose a rub. Seeing how worn down the statue's nose has become over the years made me feel part of something big, a long lineage of successful students and graduates.

We like to pretend we have a rivalry with BC and BU, so we make fun of them, which is kinda fun.

My school is famous for its Husky mascot, of which there are several statues around campus, painted to represent those who donated each particular statue. My school is also known for being a five-year school, because of its co-op program, where students give up summer vacations after freshman year and spend six months of each subsequent year in class, and then six months working a full-time, 9-5 job in the field toward which they are working to earn a degree.

The Co-op program, it provides students with resources to find non paid/paid internships in the field of their major and have "real-world" experience under their belt placing graduates as top candidates in the job market already having job experience under their belt.

Northeastern University is best known for their co-op program. Almost all students take part in this program no matter what major they are in. Co-ops are paid internships where students can explore their selected major and decide whether or not it is right for them. By taking part in co-ops, students can build up their resumes and connections for their future job. Thus making it easier to obtain a job and preparing you for the real world.

Unlike the other schools I considered that were located in my home state, Northeastern University was in Boston, all the way on the other side of the country. Aside from weather differences, Northeastern also has a lot of international students - I've made friends from all over the world. And another unique aspect of Northeastern is the impressive co-op program. That's the reason why I decided to come to Northeastern University.

Northeastern is known for its world class co-op program. Most students go on two or three co-ops, 6 month internships. These internships need to be completed in order to graduate and go through the same process as if the students were looking for a job after graduation. We need to apply and interview in order to get the job.

Northeastern is known world wide for their Cooperative education. The ability to get hands on experience prior to graduation is what sets Northeastern studens apart from others. Northeastern students get a taste of what the real world is like and view it first hand. They are able to see with their own eyes what it is they will be doing after graduation if they were to chose a paticular career path.
