[quote=Anonymous]There are some myths about the co-op program at Northeastern.

Above all, Northeastern is a research university first.
It's one of the only 39 private R1 research universities in the US, thus a lot of research activities and students can get involved with research just like any other research schools.  A lot of students do research instead or together with coop.

Coop is an added program/service/support by the school.
It's basically an internship, and there's no guarantee or anything like that. You still have to do all your due diligence.

However it's an enhanced version of internship with more flexibility and better support from the school.  
So instead of Summer only, you can do the internship(coop) in the Spring or Fall.  Course offering and the whole structure is designed to support that with plenty of Summer courses.  When you take summer courses, you get prorated student aid/scholarship.  Strong industry connections. There's a separate coop advisor in addition to a academic advisor, etc. etc.[/quote]
