i really like northeastern, but worry it does not have a good enough name for career purposes although the coop programs seems quite helpful
it really was one of my safety schools but i fell in love with it



re career purposes, NEU engineering students do not compete for co-op positions solely against other NEU students; they frequently compete against students from other schools as well; many of NEU’s top engineering co-op employers recruit for both co-op and internship positions at many other schools besides NEU. So, many of the same opportunities are available to NEU students as are available to students at “higher ranked” schools.

One of the main differences, is, as already noted, that at NEU the curriculum is more integrated and built around the co-op model.

My S graduated from NEU last spring in Chem E; he did the 5 yr/3 co-op program and was able to pay for all of his room/board, books and personal costs during his last 3 yrs with his co-op earnings.
