+1 they wear it like a badge and state it proudly in their collateral! Northeastern says it sux to BU. Although, they have their own issues. Reality is sophomore class is stressed trying to compete for internships. Add in the cohort of freshman admitted as NUIn or Oakland campus, who then must find a coop when acclimating to the home base Boston campus. Students must view the coop program as a likelihood of graduating in 5 years. Reddit is a good place to get a feel from students. It’s real time Q&A. Not sure how much longer NEU can play the coop card, as most colleges promote internships. DS has had 3 internship, averaging 17 credits per semester. He’s a sophomore  who will graduate in 4 years (2025). He has multiple friends at NEU, and they’re frazzled during coop search.[/quote]

I'm not sure I'm following what you are saying.  So your DS is a sophomore at BU, had 3 internships already, and found them easily?  OK.

Well yes coop at NEU is nothing especial and it's basically internship.  
Its just little better integrated into every curriculum, little better support with dedicated coop advisor, and good industry connection.
However there's no magic, and you have to do your due diligence just like finding any internship.

Everyone now know the important of having a couple of meaningful internships
A lot of students get those internships through connections.  
NEU is trying to make it more level field for every student.
