<p>Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I got into the mechanical engineering programs at both schools, and am having a terrible time trying to decide which one is worth it. Will the coops be that much more advantageous than possible internships at Lehigh? Northeastern would be cheaper for me to attend because I received at 12,000 dollars scholarship. Any opinion on either school would be very helpful...thanks!</p>
