cmu vs. northeastern

<p>Does anyone have a sense of cmu vs. northeastern for architecture or industrial design? CMU seems to have a great reputation, campus, size, etc. Northeastern has the coop program providing actual working experience -- a plus in this economy. How is their reputation? Does anyone know? Thanks for the help!</p>

<p>My brother is in the architecture program at NEU and loves it. He was in a similar position but was debating between NEU and tufts.</p>
