[quote=Anonymous]I have a senior at Northeastern and it's been a great experience. On-campus housing was a not-great triple freshman year and a much better apartment-style dorm (with two doubles and two singles) sophomore year. They've lived off campus for the past two years. DC will graduate in four years despite two full-time six-month co-ops because of bringing in AP classes, taking one summer class (virtually) each of their first two summers, and taking one extra class this semester.

Both co-ops (one in Boston, one in another city) were fantastic and provided really good and very different work experiences. One was paid and the other was not. My kid loves Boston and takes full advantage of the city, going to sports games, museums, the public library, farmers markets, running along the Charles, etc.

DC never changed majors but advising has been a little hit and miss. My DC is a strong self-advocate which has been key to their success (this would have been much harder for my other two kids). They've participated in clubs, helped to TA a class, done intramural sports, and held a part-time job off campus.

The postgrad job hunt is ongoing-- DC has some good connections and has had a few interviews but nothing is nailed down yet.

Overall, it was a great fit for this student but would not have been good for my other two kids (who are less driven and less extroverted). No regrets![/quote]
