Northeastern University Top Questions

Co-op!

THE COOPERATIVE/EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING PROGRAM!!! I love that I can get work experience in my field of interest. Even in this hard economy, the falculty that assists students in finding co-op jobs has been wonderful! These jobs also help students know if they are on the right career path that they are truly interested in. As a part of the experiential learning, Northeastern also offers several ways to study abroad. One can do a co-op abroad for 6 months, a semester abroad for 4 months, or a summer session dialogue which can be 3-6 weeks.

It has the best co-op program in the country and is ranked #1 for job placement for undergraduates.

The thing that makes Northeastern unique compared to other schools is the same thing that I consider "the best thing" about the school -- The internship program. Very few schools offer such a comprehensive internship program; through Northeastern you can find an internship in almost any state and in dozens of other countries that offers a completly unique experience from other schools.

Located in the middle of a city yet there is still a strong campus feel.

It had the music technology major that I am in which no other school has.

We have a five year co-op program. So for the most part, students are hardworking and very career focused. Students here want to have fun, but school work typically comes first.

It was the farthest away from my home town and also the most expesive but gave the most financial aid. It is more academically focused than sports focused compared to other schools I applied to

I don't think that there is really anything that makes my university unique compared to other universitiies.

It set me up with an engineering job through it's co-op program. I learned how to apply what I learned in class in the real world. Now I have a year of experience in engineering before I graduate as well as a good idea of what I enjoy doing in the field. Most of my friends who go to other schools don't have either so it is good to have an advantage when I start going on interviews.

The co-op program is definitely one of the most unique aspects of Northeastern, and definitely the reason it was my first choice University. I am in the pharmacy program and even though it's a six year program, versus the rest of the five year programs at the University, we are still able to participate in the program. I feel confident that because of this program I will graduate with acedemic and real-world knowledge that no other University could have provided me with.

Northeastern is unique because of its location. There are many colleges within the city which provides students with the opportunity to meet a very diverse group of peers. In addition to providing ample opportunities for social events from theaters, to bars, concerts, sporting events and mueseums.

This school offers opportunities you never thought possible. Co-op allows you to have real life experience in the work force and the hands-on learning is priceless.

We are in the middle of a city but it isn't too large so there is still a great sense of community among residents. My school is also surrounded by dozens of other colleges and our campus is open so we interact with students from these neighboring schools on a regular basis.

Northeastern University has a co-op program, where you stop taking classes for 6 months and get a job in your interested career field. It is great experience and looks amazing on a resume. Not to mention that many kids who do co-op finish thier degree with a job waiting for them. Also Northeastern University, while it is located in the heart of a city, Boston, it has a very suburb feel. Campus is alwasy gorgeous, and well kept. There are many quads and scenic areas used for studying or just haning out.

If you're one of those people, like me, who comes from a suburban high school with little to no diversity and want a guarantee that you'll find a group of friends with similarities to yourself, then Northeastern could certainly provide you with that. Probably the best things about Northeastern are it's location and it's campus. The campus (which is expanding with new dorms and buildings) is still a college campus with your grassy quads and brick pathways (unlike BU), only it's plopped right in the heart of Boston in a really great location - it's so centrally located to Fenway Park, the MFA, the Prudential building, Copley, Newbury St., Boylston St., everything!

It has a great COOP program.

I dont think that my school is that unique from other privated well known college institutions. I wouldnt say that this is a bad thing but I feel that my school is similar to many large universities.

It is in the center of a big metropolitan city. There is access to anything you can imagine and there is endless possibilities of things to do around campus
