<p>I'm sure I can't be the only one wondering!
To me, the first priority in a college would be the internships and co-op possiblities. What are some schools that are strong academically as well as with these opportunities?
Thanks a ton!</p>
<p>any really prestigious school or a school that is very large (like a state school) that can attract many opportunities from the local area.</p>
<p>Georgetown is good for this, especially if government/international relations/econ is your thing.</p>
<p>Northeastern has alright academics but a fantastic co-op program.</p>
<p>agreed with pierre0913</p>
<p>Pretty much any school in an urban area will offer solid internship opportunities.</p>
<p>As far as “great” schools go, NYU/Columbia/Fordham in NYC; a lot of places (BU, Northeastern, Harvard, MIT, etc.) in Boston; GWU/Georgetown in D.C. I would think the same pattern pretty much applies across the country.</p>

<p>Internship is a very vague term. Some internships are unpaid but offer academic credit. This means that you are working for nothing AND paying tuition for the academic credits. Be careful. </p>
<p>Coop positions are almost always paid but do not offer academic credit.</p>
