Northeastern is a 73 acre college campus right in Boston, making both a traditional campus and an urban campus at the same time. It's a big school with over 15,000 undergrads. Probably the most defining trait of Northeastern is it's Co-op program. Nearly all students participate in this program which has students working in their chosen career field prior to graduation for at least one semester. As a result, most students here take either 5 years to graduate or use a summer vacation in order to fit in all requirements. During co-op, students are not required to pay tuition and usually are paid by thier employer so, in theory, it may actually cost less. The most popular majors here are engineering, sciences and business. Architecture, physical therapy, international affairs and computer science are also interesting options here.
Many classes here will have over 40 students enrolled and housing is only guaranteed for the first 3 years. It is a competitive school in terms of admissions standards (B+/A- with 1260 ish SAT) yet nearly 1/3 will transfer or drop out prior to graduating.
