Would Northeastern be a good "investment"?

Another parent here — The Bouve network for co-op employment is excellent for any health science majors. DS has had three pharmacy co-ops (two hospital and one independent retail pharmacy). Two of the employers offered part time work during the academic semesters after he completed the coop. Although the tuition is steep, we think that NU is worth the investment as long as he stays there and graduates. The NAPLEX (national licensing exam) pass rates are very high for NU graduates. I’m pretty sure that would be the same for any of the majors that require licensure.

I’m a Cal grad and don’t know much about the East Coast perception of universities, but we’ve found that NU has a very good reputation out here on the West Coast.
