<p>I’m a Northeastern student currently on my second co-op, this time in Germany. I am a neuroscience major, and both of my co-ops have been in academic research labs, though there are also many positions available in industry and even in start ups.
I will be applying to graduate schools next year, and after my co-ops I will have a fantastic CV for my grad school application; there are not many students finishing their undergrad degree with a year and a half of full time research experience. Because I am also working closely with some really great professors in my field, I will also have really great letters of recommendation. Co-op has given me some really great research skills I would not have been able to learn without immersing myself in it, and I am also now much more confident about the path I want to pursue once I graduate.</p>
<p>OP, what are you looking at majoring in?</p>
