<p>Hello!</p>

<p>I am an international student and was recently offered a tuition scholarship (soccer scholarship) at Northeastern and are very excited about attending the business program this fall. However, I have a couple of questions before I decide anything.</p>

<li><p>About how much is the total cost/year including tuition, housing, food, books, personal expenses etc. In other means, how would I have to pay on my own each year if I get the tuition payed?</p></li>
<li><p>how will I handle the co-op as an athlete (soccer)? Will I be able to get the same “good” jobs as everyone else or are we treated different?</p></li>
<li><p>Is it worth the money I will have to pay, mainly by loans but also a small amount of money which I’ll get from Sweden? Answer this by your own opinion.</p></li>
<li><p>Seeing as I’ll stack up a quite big loan, will I be able to pay back this loan fairly easy enough if I get an average job after graduation? </p></li>
<li><p>As an international student, is it easy to find a job after graduation so I can stay in the US? or is it hard to get a job so that there is a big chance I will have to go back to Sweden to work?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Those are my mainly concerns I have at the moment. This is a really big step for me to take so I want to make sure I know what I’m getting myself into before I accept the offer.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>In terms of athletics and coop, I can say that you have the same jobs available to you. You might be slightly limited by practice times but I think most coaches try to be reasonable (so if your job is normal hours it should probably work).</p>

<p>I think full tuition is pretty good. The remainder you’d have to pay I believe would just be living expenses–food, housing, etc. I feel like it may be around $15,000 but I don’t really know where I’m getting that number from. I’m really tired. I do think that a job after graduation should be easier to find because of coop – I think NU does a better-than-average job of placing graduates in jobs.</p>
