They have a good experiential program in terms of co-op, internships, etc. However, the food provided is very limited. Only two dining halls are really available on campus (on opposite sides of campus). Too many TA's/PhD candidate students teaching classes.
Some professors were very accomodating, making time for office hours even if they didn't have them before. Other classes switched to asynchronous a week before classes started. Very few classes were available in person.
Took one class online, and the teacher has numerous issues with setting up their Canvas (I was unable to view modules, the calendar has assignments from past semesters, quizzes were hidden deep in folders, I wasn't able to access it until 3 days into the semester). I was disappointed since it was an IT class and the professor should have been more competent with tech. I think the workload was overwhelming.
I love the co-op program, I'm doing so many amazing things to add to my resume. It gives the entire campus a very motivated and ambitious feeling, everyone wants to succeed and it's very nice to be around people who are like-minded. I think the courses are super rigorous and wish professors stopped grading on a bell-curve as the workload is super rough. But because of the workload, I feel super competent and prepared for all of my co-ops. The work I do in my classes I think has made me more prepared for a business career than my friends in Business at other schools.
NEU has great study abroad programs as well. When you combine that with co-op, you can visit so many places in undergrad. I've done a summer in China, been offered a co-op in NYC, did a semester in South Korea, and return to do classes in Boston. I'm all over the place and its a super unique college experience that you can't get at any other school.

Hybrid learning model and extremely flexible professors who take the time to set up extra learning opportunities in this environment
Online experience is just like any other. You get as much as you put in. The professors will only know you if you reach out and ask for help. I feel like I learned all of the information that I needed to learn.
The ABSN program is unorganized and outdated. Very frustrating as a student to attend. Problems with finding clinical placement. I wasn’t placed for my practicum until two month before graduation then was expected to have to finish all the hours in a short period of time.
Northeastern is a very good choice for career building because of its co-ops; students are almost guaranteed work experience before graduating. The only flaw is the lack of financial understanding from the staff, especially during the pandemic currently.
Online classes are difficult anywhere, but Northeastern was able to transition pretty quickly and improved their online modules due to the pandemic.
So far so good. Great teacher's and amazing facilities. Lots of diverse and interesting people. Community is also a plus.
They have been very open about everything including COVID and the precautions they are pursing everyday to ensure the safety of everyone on campus!
I have asynchronous classes thus I am able to take care of classes whenever I have time, instead of having a scheduled date.
Online classes are fine, but some professors take too long trying to fix technical problems that it affects classes.
My online classes were engaging and the professors have been doing everything they can to make the learning experience as "normal" as possible. The university did send out several emails to professors encouraging them to try to get more students to attend classes in person even if the professor was teaching remotely as the pandemic got worse, which was a confusing policy.
Something I've noticed about Northeastern is that everyone here has something they're doing that they're passionate about. It's a campus full of people with diverse interests and everyone here is really interesting and genuinely cares about learning and having new experiences. Co-op is an obvious draw of Northeastern and I don't think it's overrated.
I absolutely love Northeastern, it's amazing. It's very unique in that it has its own campus amid Boston and has incredible programs for business, computer science, engineering, you name it. Northeastern is also known for giving out generous financial aid and for having a revolutionary renowned coop program that allows you to obtain paid internships. Northeastern also has a PlusOne program that allows you to obtain a master's degree in only one year on top of your BS.
Northeastern did a very good job of adapting to online learning. Of course there were a few hiccups but for the most part all teachers have successfully transitioned to online and are still effectively teaching through the online medium.
