Northeastern University (reviews)

If you are looking for city life, a rigorous academic schedule, extensive research opportunities, and an enjoyable college community, Northeastern University is the school for you. In my short time in Boston and at Northeastern University, I have had the pleasure of acclimating to a fast-paced new life in perhaps the best college town in the world. Northeastern classes like Dr Steve Granelli’s “Intro to Communication” have changed the way I view everyday life and broadened my perspective on interactions as a whole. Northeastern is the perfect combination of living an ambitious life in a new and busy city along with providing a supportive family of students, faculty, and staff eager to help you become the best working professional and intellectual individual possible.

Yes! It focuses on outside the classroom experiences, integrates classes really well into co-ops and you can get upto a 1.5 year work experience on your resume during your Undergrad! It is extremely competitive, classes are difficult and the caliber is really high

The co-op program wasbmy primary reason to choose Northeastern and they delivered. The amazing campus doesn’t let me forget the University ! I still go to the campus to play and hang around. The University is right in the heart of Boston !!

The biggest plus about studying at Northeastern is its co-op program which is a 4 to 6-month internship (usually paid) which is integrated as a part of your degree. It is up to the student how many co-ops they want to do but the university provides adequate support to find co-ops in the US and abroad.

In terms of classes, there is a lot of flexibility to choose classes including online summer classes. Northeastern also offers several study abroad programs not only in the summer but for full semesters as well. I did NU in London, which is a 4-month long study abroad in my freshman year.

However, the residential facilities are limited and the lottery-based system for housing is very tedious. My academic advisor isn’t the best so I’d recommend doing research yourself and asking a lot of questions, just to be sure.

Awesome facilities. Looks like a college from American movies. Really great opportunities to move from one degree to another, counting credits. Not really many classes, but homeworks take all the time!

I found most diverse culture in this college and great career prospect learning especially their Co-op program(experiential learning). Also, they have provided great student life on their campus and part time opportunities in boston campus.

One of the best around, great location right in the heart of Boston. Opportunities to learn and gain valuable experience via the coop program.
This is a great place to network with a large population of international students combined with many future leaders of various industries starting out here.
