College Selection Advice - NYU, Tufts, UNC Chapel Hill, Northeastern

I definitely really want to have a lot of real-world experience, so I would definitely plan on doing internships no matter where I end up. What I have heard from some people is that co-op can get kind of frustrating since it is basically six months away from college just working and having to do so. I guess I have reservations but I definitely value the experience. Would be great if you could tell me more about it!
