I’m debating which one I want to chose. The cost is pretty much similar. Both I know have strong cs program, but northeastern is slightly more expensive.
I’m kinda in the same boat as you but idk this is what people told me. Purdue is ranked higher than northeastern and generally more well know/ prestigious. northeastern does have the best co op program in the country, however, you can get internetships and a different form of co op at Purdue(just not well-known look it up to get more info). It also depends on whether you want to live in a big city or in Indiana():. Both are amazing schools so congratulations!
Purdue has a great co-op program, it’s just optional. About 30% of Purdue students co-op, the rest do more traditional summer internships. There is also more flexibility with the type of co-op - 2 term, 3 term or 5 term.
Purdue also has one of the biggest career fairs in the country and the career center is amazing.
My vote, as a Purdue parent is to Boiler Up!
Which school did you decide on?? We’re in the same boat, with a few other schools in the mix. Thanks!
