UMD is the best known for CS (in case he’s really into CS).
Northeastern doesn’t sound like he’s really into its model, but it does guarantee both his favored majors and even if well-paid/great co-ops aren’t as plentiful in tech he could follow the “one co-op” model only and should easily find something he likes if that’s something he’s into. If it’s not, easy to cross it out.
