[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like or don't like, but Northeastern is getting more than 100,000 applicants per year. I went to college in Boston back in the day when Northeastern was a commuter school for kids in Revere that wanted to become cops. Northeastern has come a long way since then. Good for them. They seem to understand what students want these days. A lot of universities are envious. [/quote]

Some people like to use the term 'commuter school' in a derogatory manner to bash the school. However, it has a very proud history and tradition of serving working-class and average Americans, while so-called elite schools catered to the rich Whites and operated like country clubs.

The co-op program is rooted in that history and tradition. MIT was another school that began by serving working-class and average Americans. It was regarded largely as a vocational school well into the 1950s.  It is highly ranked in internship and co-op programs as well.
