Northeastern University Top Questions

The coop opportunities, large amount of extra-curricular activites, the research focus and opportunities, the in class teaching style-not just read and memorize, really gets the students invovled in learning-simulations, case studies, class discussions.

I believe that my school's best quality is their pride. Everyone at Northeastern whether they are a student or faculty member are extremely prideful. This pride allows for students to form a strong bond with other students as well as their professors. Everyone at Northeastern is so proud of the school and its image that they refuse to let their peers fail and will go above and beyond to make sure that everyone is successful.

The cooperative learning experience is invaluable to my education here at Northeastern. The exeriential learning program is designed to give students a top class education while giving them crucial job experience at the same time. Most of my peers have job offers by the time they become juniors, which is important to me because I come from a hard-working blue collar family and getting a top class job to match my top class education is a priority.

It honestly depends on your year and how early you send in your housing deposit for freshman. Freshman year I was stuck in an "economy" sized forced triple. Three girls, two closets, one room. One gang bathroom per floor. Not all freshman dorms are like that, but beware. After freshman year dorms get significantly better, most are apartment style. All on campus housing is expensive and it is required for freshman and sophomores.

We're in the heart of Boston. Rather than other universities up here, Northeastern is pretty much in the center of Boston and we have our own stops on the ublic transport. It's really nice and convenient.

Coop. In today's economy, it's often tough for college graduates to get a job in their prospective fields right out of college. The coop program at Northeastern is fantastic in that often times, students are offered full time jobs from coop employers. It's also great to already have work experience and a resume upon graduating.

The best thing about Northeastern is the wide range of possibilities in experimental learning. The Co-Op program gives students real work and international experience while in working towards their undergraduate degree, which provides them with incredible networking opportunities. This program allows students to boost their resumes while studying, putting them at above other competitors for jobs after graduation.

I consider the co-op program to be one of the best things about my school. I am aware that other schools have it, but I am told that those programs aren't as broad as ours. I definitely feel that it gives me an advantage in the work force once I finish school, as well as preparing me for what I'll be doing for the rest of my life before I make any permanent decisions. I am able to decide, while I can still change my major, whether or not my current major is right for me.

The greatest thing about Northeastern is the direct access to the working world. There is no college which literally prepares you and sends you intot he waiting arms of large companies with serious growth potential that utilize the skillz honed in our classrooms.

I came from a small town, and am now in a big city. There is a "campus" feel to my school which I love

Opportunities to work/study abroad, as well as the co-op program. The co-op program gave me a great job with great pay, one that I probably wouldn't have gotten if it weren't for Northeastern.

Boston. Being in the heart of the city is great. It makes meeting people difficult since there isn't a traditional campus environment, but the city is at your finger tips. There are unlimited places to find a student job, internship, or after graduation job. There is something for everyone in this city. If you not from a city, Boston isn't as crazy as places like New York and it's easy to get to the mountains to snowboard, beach, or travel the east coast.

The best thing about my school is the co-op program. I like the idea of being able to get real, paid job experience before you graduate. You can explore different fields and discover what it is that you actually want to do without having to worry about losing or not being able to find a job. That was especially important for me when I was deciding which college to attend because I'm unsure about which careers I want to pursue in the future.

The professors at this school will help you become the best in your field.

I think that the diversity is a really great thing about this school because it has opened my eyes up to many different cultures and people. I have learned so much from sharing classes with people who have very diverse ideas and interests. The career focused motivation is also a very valuable aspect because the importance of internships while in undergraduate studies almost guarantees being a competitive runner in the job search after graduating.

The best thing about my school is that it exposes its' students to many different experiences which allow them to have a better idea of what they want to do as a career and who they want to be as a person. I believe that this, combined with the many majors that Northeastern has to offer, allows for extremely well rounded graduates.

The best thing about the University of Arizona is the community-like feeling the campus creates. The many places available for studying and meeting people enables students to feel like they always have resources to succeed. In addition, there are tutoring sessions and workshops available for almost every area of study.

The location. Being in Boston is awesome.

I consider the co-op program in our school to be the best thing. The co-op allows students to gain real world experience by practicing how to write resumes, go to interviews, and hold jobs.
