  • hey guys! I thought I’d make a video answering some co-op questions and giving some insight about the co-op process in general! I couldn’t find a lot of resources online when I was figuring this out on my own so I thought you guys who might have just committed to northeastern (congrats!) or are considering coming to northeastern for university might find this topic interesting.
    What I talk about in this video is completely based on my experience at the school and what I have learned. I tried to answer everything as best as I could and make it as clear as possible. The program is constantly changing and getting better so I apologize if any of the information is not correct. I hope it helps and thanks for watching! comment down below if you have any questions at all!

    Hey! Love this:) I work for admissions at Northeastern as a tour guide, and we like to describe co-op a as full-time entry-level position for 6 months (admissions doesn't like us saying internship) lol. Also, many majors you don't have to decide which co-op cycle you're on during your freshman year, and are able to move your cycle around (this was my experience, originally as a spring cycle but switching to fall cycle right before). I'll also just clarify that you are able to go on co-op if you are undeclared! Overall, great comprehensive overview of co-op!!

      Hello, looking for some clarity. Hoping you could help. Do co-ops apply to Graduate students too? How feasible is it for a 2-year Graduate student in robotics?

    • @ajrchbao

      Can international students do this Co-Op program too ? Because as far as I know all International students need some kind of permission / sponsorship to do paid interships

    the co-op classes the semester before seem like they prepare you for apps and job searching/applications in general and that's so useful as a college student

    Hello Tiffany. Just want to comment for the Undecideds that enter NEU. I entered Northeastern as an Undecided in the mid 1990’s. I had up to Fall of Sophomore year to decide what major I was going to be in. I took a recommended/required class that helped me decide what my major would be Spring Quarter (yes, the university ran on a quarter system back then.) of my Freshman year. It helped a lot. Not too sure if that is still the case now for the Undecideds. Just thought to let you know that might be an option for those who have no idea what their major would be; yet still want to apply to Northeastern. Great video and good luck in your future endeavors.

    Question: Do you have to pay to take a co-op? Not tuition, some application fee?

  • @moriahpettway8612
    @moriahpettway8612 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Would I be possible to do a video with students and their Co-op experiences in different majors. For example I’m interested in Journalism and Political Science and Journalism isn’t as popular of major so what is that experience like upon applying for Co-op.

    • @TiffanyElizabeth

  • @otayan7067
    @otayan7067 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you so much for this video!! I’m in the middle between choosing Northeastern or a state school and I want to see if it’s worth the money to go to Northeastern. I have a question though. Do I have to pay for tuition if I do co op? So during the fall of sophomore year would I have to pay the tuition for that semester and then when I do co op in the spring do I also need to pay? Or do I not pay tuition during co op and only pay for housing?

    • @carolinaalejandra4454
      @carolinaalejandra4454 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hii, Northeastern student here. When you are on co-op you don’t have to pay for tuition, you only pay for housing. Another cheaper option is to go off-campus during your co-op!

  • @daria682
    @daria682 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thanks for the video, it was really informative :) I have a question regarding income: do you know approximately how much you’ll be making before you sign off on taking the co-op, or do you have to negotiate after you’ve taken your position?

    • @TiffanyElizabeth
      @TiffanyElizabeth  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Glad you found the video helpful! Usually when you get the offer, your employer will send you an offer letter with all the details of your employment (stuff like how much you'll get paid, your start date, etc.) and if something doesn't resonate with you, you can negotiate some of the terms then! hope this helps ☺️

    • @TiffanyElizabeth

      Good luck with your application and nope, you don't have to pay tuition while on co-op!

    Hello...I have an admit for fall 2020 in NEU Boston for MS in CS...Due to pandemic may be forced to defer my classes....how would it matter regarding co op/ internship as compared to fall / spring semester

    • @TiffanyElizabeth
      @TiffanyElizabeth  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm not sure I understand your question, but I think if you defer your classes, your co-op cycle can also be deferred by a semester, hope this helps!

    Hey! I am from India. I am currently an IB DP2 student . I am falling in love with Northeastern more and more every day, learning new things about it. The Co-Op looks like a great opportunity and I am definately appyling to Northeastern. Though, there is one question I have in mind. What about the fee schedule during the years when students do Co-Op. Are we suppose to pay full tution during the Co-Op years as well or does it get reduced by half?

    • @TiffanyElizabeth
      @TiffanyElizabeth  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      you do not pay tuition while you are on co-op unless you are working and taking classes at the same time!

  • @Spaciousbow3572

    Hey! So I'm interested in going to northeastern. But I also plan on doing dci during my college years (max age is 22). Dci typically leaves in June and returns in August. I'd be touring the country. Is there a way to do co-op and a program like that?
    I plan on going to the engineering college for mechanical engineering and design :)

    • @TiffanyElizabeth
      @TiffanyElizabeth  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm not sure how this would work, but it's probably possible! Maybe you could do this program right after your freshman year (when the spring semester ends in April and fall semester won't start until September) or you could try to find a 4 month co-op but I don't think those are common for engineering students

    can you do co-op and study abroad? also does neu allow students to do semester at sea?

    • @TiffanyElizabeth
      @TiffanyElizabeth  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      yes! you can do a co-op and a study abroad, or you can do a co-op abroad if you're interested in that! semester at sea sounds like so much fun but I'm not sure how neu accommodates for students who participate, unfortunately I don't know anyone who has done the program before

    • @Henderix0
      @Henderix0 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't believe a co-op is required, however you will have to do some form of experiential learning, which can come in different ways I think such as lab research. But if you are a business/engineering/CS major, there is no reason at all to not do co-op.
