[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn’t Northeastern do something similar by having some freshmen start in London first semester?[/quote]

I know a kid whom just HAD to go to Northeastern.   So they let him in on the condition that he spend the entire first year in London.

I thought it was kind of dumb.  [/quote]

It's a path to NEU if that's what your kid really wants.  However, the yield for that program (GS---likely that was fall 2022 since now it's split between London and Oakland CA) is low.  That year they offered well over 1000 spots and I think they got 150-200 kids max.

However, I wouldn't recommend a spring start where you will NOT get your desired major.  Plenty of excellent places to get a CS degree that you won't have to compete to get into the program or get into the desired courses.  I would only take an "alternative start" if my kid can still do their actual desired program (and with NEU that could mean an extra semester, not due to COOP but due to not having the courses you need with the abroad programs if you are advanced).
