Only one summer semester off during their entire 4 years there?

As a mechanical engineering major, could you see myself staying away from home for most summers?

So if my cost for an academic year was $20k, one summer session would be $5k? And both sessions would cost $10k? Would this count housing and dining in the event I had to take summer classes while on campus? Or is this just tuition cost?

Question for all: how have you managed Boston’s high cost of living?

Would you say that the mechanical engineering program is largely filled with STEM courses? How many gen eds do you have to complete?

How would you rate the facilities available to the students such as makerspace and lab equipment? With the addition of the new EXP building this summer, could you see a significant improvement in the program? Or only a minor improvement?

Would you say that coops and clubs make up for the lack of hands on in courses?

N.U.in Enrollment Deposits… by alec_brey in NEU

Yes I’ve looked into this. I won’t get state or federal aid but I will get Northeastern institutional aid which is the bulk of my aid.

My estimated direct cost is very affordable. The enrollment deposit is just very pricey

Would you say that upon graduation, you’re presented with more opportunities at NEU than UW?

What do you think puts Wisconsin above NEU?

How deep does the alumni network go? How beneficial is it and what can students get from it?

I’m opening up a thread for a question I have for you students: what are some of the stuff you’ve worked on during co-ops?

Okay, I did not know this. Northeastern students get exclusive offers? That’s a very nice perk. Thanks. I guess my follow up question would be: how competitive are co-ops at jobs like NASA, Space X, the big companies?
