How competitive are W&M graduates in the job market upon graduation?
My daughter’s biggest draw to NEU is the co-op program and how it primes its students for working in the professional world. She wants to feel well-prepared for life beyond academia after finishing her undergraduate education, rather than just being thrown into the deep end with just her diploma to keep her afloat. With that being said, how well do you think that W&M prepares its undergraduates for working in the professional world?

W&M prepares students very well. It is consistently rated as one of the best undergraduate schools in the country. W&M seniors find jobs in every field imaginable.

I don’t think it is worth paying more money to go to Northeastern (though it is a very good school). What does a coop bring to the table that an internship while at W&M would not bring?
