<p>Really confused, please help! </p>
<p>They’re in the same city, cost about the same and have a similar non-campus vibe. The big difference is NEU’s co-op program, which significantly alters the academic experience. How do you feel about doing co-ops? Being out of school for months at a time, working full-time? Taking 5 years to get your degree? (Though it can be done in 4, it’s just harder.) Having a percentage of your friends disappear off campus for months at a time because they’re on co-op?
Once that’s clearer to you, the choice of which school will become clearer, too. </p>
<p>Thanks for that. I actually really like the co-op program and don’t mind going off campus like that. But all I hear about northeastern is there co-op program. Is there anything else that differentiates the two?</p>
<p>BU is probably better known outside the Northeast, especially internationally. Not sure that’s a reason to pick it, but it is a difference.</p>
