<p>Has anyone had any experience with Need-based financial aid at Northeastern? How did the money earn during co-op affect that?</p>
<p>My nephew graduated a few years ago with a business degree from NEU. Since his family lived within commuting distance to New York City he always went home to live during his co-op which saved on housing expenses. He also felt that he had greater opportunities because he wasn’t competing with as many students for jobs in the Boston area. He had some excellent jobs in major brokerage firms on Wall St. It’s an option.</p>
