Northeastern is best know for its co-op or exeriential education program. In addition to classes, students are placed in co-op jobs or interships with companies in their intended field. We work for six months at a time and then return to classes. Students can participate in up to 4 co-ops and typically graduate in 5 years. The job experience is extremely helpful because you can apply what you've learned in class and learn by actually doing.

My school is best known for their CO-0P, where students are placed in an internship according to their majors, and they are paid and recieve credit for it also. It's a good way to become familiar with what you want to do after graduation, allows you to really gain the experience you need, and also a great way to take a break from classes while still recieving credit.
