You shouldn’t have to look very hard.
CS is a very marketable major. Almost any major research university will cover pretty much the same basic set of CS courses. Northeastern should be fine. However, if you qualify for need-based financial aid, there are more than 50 other schools that are more generous with it ([Colleges That Claim to Meet Full Financial Need - US News and World Report](http://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/paying-for-college/articles/2013/09/18/colleges-that-claim-to-meet-full-financial-need-2014)).

If you do not qualify for need-based FA, many state universities would be a good $15K/year or more cheaper than Northeastern and have CS programs that are at least as good. Examples: Illinois, Maryland, Washington, Wisconsin, and UMass-Amherst.

CS majors at many universities can find good internship or research experiences.
