Northeastern University Top Questions

The coop opportunities, large amount of extra-curricular activites, the research focus and opportunities, the in class teaching style-not just read and memorize, really gets the students invovled in learning-simulations, case studies, class discussions.

I believe that my school's best quality is their pride. Everyone at Northeastern whether they are a student or faculty member are extremely prideful. This pride allows for students to form a strong bond with other students as well as their professors. Everyone at Northeastern is so proud of the school and its image that they refuse to let their peers fail and will go above and beyond to make sure that everyone is successful.

The cooperative learning experience is invaluable to my education here at Northeastern. The exeriential learning program is designed to give students a top class education while giving them crucial job experience at the same time. Most of my peers have job offers by the time they become juniors, which is important to me because I come from a hard-working blue collar family and getting a top class job to match my top class education is a priority.

It honestly depends on your year and how early you send in your housing deposit for freshman. Freshman year I was stuck in an "economy" sized forced triple. Three girls, two closets, one room. One gang bathroom per floor. Not all freshman dorms are like that, but beware. After freshman year dorms get significantly better, most are apartment style. All on campus housing is expensive and it is required for freshman and sophomores.

We're in the heart of Boston. Rather than other universities up here, Northeastern is pretty much in the center of Boston and we have our own stops on the ublic transport. It's really nice and convenient.

Coop. In today's economy, it's often tough for college graduates to get a job in their prospective fields right out of college. The coop program at Northeastern is fantastic in that often times, students are offered full time jobs from coop employers. It's also great to already have work experience and a resume upon graduating.

The best thing about Northeastern is the wide range of possibilities in experimental learning. The Co-Op program gives students real work and international experience while in working towards their undergraduate degree, which provides them with incredible networking opportunities. This program allows students to boost their resumes while studying, putting them at above other competitors for jobs after graduation.

I consider the co-op program to be one of the best things about my school. I am aware that other schools have it, but I am told that those programs aren't as broad as ours. I definitely feel that it gives me an advantage in the work force once I finish school, as well as preparing me for what I'll be doing for the rest of my life before I make any permanent decisions. I am able to decide, while I can still change my major, whether or not my current major is right for me.

The greatest thing about Northeastern is the direct access to the working world. There is no college which literally prepares you and sends you intot he waiting arms of large companies with serious growth potential that utilize the skillz honed in our classrooms.
