[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is about to graduate from Northeastern in a few weeks.  Took him 4 years, including 2 co-ops (so only had classes for 6 semesters, plus a one month summer program).  Its been a great experience for him, and he's found his peers to be bright and ambitious.  Its not for everyone (and its not easy to get into, especially Boston), but for the right person, its a fantastic program.[/quote]

So it's more of a vocational school?[/quote]

No, just because some students have a lot of AP credits and managed to graduate in 3 years, doesn't make it a vocational school.
Duh[/quote]

Correct.  This was my kid, who had a bunch of AP and IB credits.  Not to be fair, he hasn't taken a lot of liberal artsy/poli sci/history type classes, like I did as an undergrad.  He's a business major with concentration in Financial Technology and a minor in Data Science, so he has taken a lot of business classes/computer science-type classes.  Whether you think that's "vocational school"  (and whether if it is, you think that's bad), is up to you.[/quote]
