HELP Convincing parents for Northeastern!

My S in in chemical engineering at Northeastern. I don’t know a lot about Rochester’s program but we did visit and spoke to several of the students. The universal response we got from the students about internships and co-ops was that they had to take the initiative to speak to professors and to find opportunities on their own through their own research. It didn’t sound like there was a formal program or a lot of support, but that is only based on anecdotal experience from one visit. However, NU stands out among most in terms of their strong preparation and support with co-op experiences.
