<p>As a note, many universities do offer co-ops, but don’t necessarily publicize them or make them part of the core experience schools like Northeastern and Drexel do. I know my school (Carnegie Mellon) had a small co-op program that was open to any student interested in it. One of my classmates took part in it, and, as far as I know, enjoyed their experience.</p>
<p>I suppose one question you can ask yourself is if you want a school where the co-op is central to the experience or if it’s seen as a bonus sort of things students can engage in, similar to study abroad.</p>
