Northeastern - KHOURY COLLEGE OF COMPUTER SCIENCES/ BS in CS & Business

My son got accepted to Northeastern University. I am wondering if anyone knows about this program in terms of job placements. Any other feedback on the university is also appreciated.

Heard that there is good placement!

Does anyone know if Northeastern will negotiate Financial Aid package awarded with the Decision Letter?

Here are my pros and cons so far:

Pros:

  • Excellent Coop Program, which would ultimately result in good placement opportunities
  • Excellent Location as far as I can tell
  • Flexibility in combining majors

Cons:

  • Not a “tier 1” college for Computer Science
  • Quite expensive (for out of state students) even with financial aid

I would not mention this in your appeal.

Quite expensive (for out of state students

It is a private school so tuition is the same for all students…

I’ve not heard of many people renegotiating FA packages but it can’t hurt to ask esp for need based aid if your conditions have changed since you applied. I’d run the NPC on their website and if the package is dramatically different then It might be worth knowing why.
