<p>Northeastern's program is a five year program because the student does 3 terms of co-op. However they are not paying tuition during those terms. If needed I do beleive that the school will allow you to live on campus but you must pay for housing. During co-op you work a full time job for a period of one year. The do try to align you with your interst. Friends's daughter attended NU on a full ride track scholarship. She had her co-op experience working as a paralegal at a firm which did keep her on part tim when her co-op ended and hired her full time when she graduated. She felt that the work experince was benefical in helping her get into the law school of her choice.</p>
