@redpoodles As a freshman at Northeastern I don’t know anyone who is commuting. I really recommend at least trying to live in the dorms the first year. You can always opt out of housing sophomore year. It is much easier to make friends this way and though dorm living can be frustrating you could always have her try living in a single to give her some feeling of privacy. As for co-ops and AP credit it’s great when you have it and are able to be really flexible with your schedule. It’s definitely possible to graduate from Northeastern in 3 years and I actually could but I really like the opportunity co-op provides and I know if I take the 3 co-ops and graduate in 5 years I will have an excellent resume which to me is the reason I’m at this school. When it comes down to it for me the point of college is so I can have a career after this and that’s why I’m at this school.
