^Thanks for the clarification. Do students pay tuition for their co-op experiences? Are they paid during their co-ops? I admit I am a little unfamiliar with co-op programs.

I see the co-ops being interesting for a student interested in engineering. For a student interested in public policy, business, law, or even medicine. I can’t see the comparative advantage over Georgetown. The median starting salary for G’town Business undergrads in 2010 was over $60k. Do Northeastern students get similar salaries?

Starting salaries and what students do after graduation is also worth looking at if one is doing a cost benefit.

For example here are Georgetown’s senior surveys.
