The school is best known for its co-op program in which students are exposed to the real-life experience in the field that they are studying. I am in a nursing program and am currently working at a teaching hospital as a patient care assistant in order to get more experience and get hands-on training. This co-op program is very helpful and exposes people to their field of interest so that they might realize what they like and what they feel is not appropriate for them.

The Co-operative education program which allows studnets to hold a full time internship for six months out of the year, anywhere in the world, while remaining enrolled in the university, but typically not taking classes.

Northeastern University is best known for its excellent Co-op/Experiential Learning Program. Most students attend Northeastern for 5 years, and have 2 or 3 Co-ops during their time at Northeastern. After students complete at least three semesters of classes, they are allowed to alternate between three six month Co-ops and three more semesters of classes.

My school is best known for its co-op program. It is a well established program that many students participate in and find to be very beneficial. I think that it is very valuable in this day in age with the increasing cost of college and the increasing demand for job experience in order to get better higher paying jobs. It is hard to gain that initial experience that many companies look for when hiring new college grads and most college grads are very in debt, so co-op gives them a strong advantage.
Tyler
Northeastern University if best know for it's 5-year co-op experience based learning. You can spend up to three 6-month periods in the field, gaining experience in the field you plan on entering after you graduate.
Helen
My school is best known for the cooperative education program. This program allows for each student if he/she chooses to go on a 6-month internship in a field they are interested in. Personally, I have experienced one co-op at a pharmaceutical company. This opportunity has allowed me to obtain first hand experience of the job I am interested in. It has really shown me that the job that I academically study for is one that I really do enjoy.

Our campus that is right in the center of Boston yet it still feels very closed in and small.
