Nope. Northeastern has not been a commuter school for at least 35 years. Like it or not. But keep coming on here and spouting your nonsense.
OP, be sure to get your information from people who have actually been to each campus, not someone who claims to.
Northeastern has been a top CS and Engineering school since the inception of their programs (well before you were born).

Summer sessions are not typically when kids are in school, so yes, it adds a year or your kid will give up their summers. No matter how you slice it, the coop model adds time.
Unless you don't plan to do internships in Summers.

College Park is gross and sketchy. Go to Boston.

No, you can do 4 years or 5 years.
Everyone wants to do meaningful internship which is same thing as coop
If you do the coops, it takes 5 years. Yes, you could do it without the coops in 4 years. Source, my nephew who is a cs major at NE. I don’t know why anyone would chose NE of they weren’t interested in going the coop route.

Not significant enough to be a big factor.
It's one of the most competitive in the country. NEU doesnt even come close. College Park has improved aestheticically in the past decade. I love Boston but would not want to deal with their winters.
