I definitely like BNS. One of the reasons it appealed to me is because I was interested in neuroscience from having taken psych classes in high school, and the Northeastern program incorporates both bio and psych classes. Since starting, I’ve gone more in the bio/CS direction rather than psych, but I was glad to have the options.
As for co-ops, BNS students generally look at ones open to bio and psych majors. For bio, there are a lot of research co-ops, in hospitals, academia, and industry. I’m not as sure for psych, but there is research and stuff like working with children with autism, etc. It’s hard to get something clinical that involves actually working with patients unless you have some sort of certification like EMT or CNA.
