<p>I was wondering those same things. I called the engineering office and was connected to someone that answered all my questions , spent a great deal of time with me actually. Yes, co-ops outside of Boston, many in California and New york, however , only 10-15 % of kids do co-op outside of Boston. They like it there, have made friends, have great opportunities and therefore stay in Boston. You can create your own co-op and have it certified by your advisor, so thats a plus.</p>
<p>I do not think the help with housing overseas is that great.</p>
<p>I am not sure if the better opportunities are tied to better GPA’s. Good question. </p>
<p>Son has chosen Northeastern and is excited to go for Engineering, we are from New York.</p>
