<p>Eh, I’ve gotten by with minimal advising, and I’m someone who has switched majors (twice) and taken a semester off. Class selection and graduating isn’t super difficult, especially with degree audit (on myneu, which tells you degree/grad requirements and what you’ve taken/still need to take) so I haven’t needed much guidance. Basically, advisors aren’t going to contact you or hold your hand, but if you need to talk to them, you just make an appointment or e-mail them. I’ve always found them to be really helpful.</p>
<p>Gail Begley is the pre-med advisor, and the biochem professor. People seem to really like her and she’s supposedly a good advisor, so you have her to go to for anything pre-med. Plus there are bajillions of pre-meds here so you’ll be able to get lots of information from your neurotic classmates.</p>
<p>Eireann’s right about co-op. Sometimes you find them very last minute (I found my january co-op mid-december!) but you’ll find one. This is talked about a lot here: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/northeastern-university/703960-neu-faqs-answered.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/northeastern-university/703960-neu-faqs-answered.html</a></p>
