Northeastern University, abbreviated as NU or NEU, is a private national research
university in Boston, Massachusetts. Northeastern's award winning campus[citation

to Huntington Avenue near the vaunted Museum of Fine Arts and Symphony Hall.
The area is also known as the Fenway Cultural District. Northeastern is perhaps best known for its distinctive "co-op" program, which encourages students to alternate semesters of study with periods of full-time work with co-operative partners in business and industry. In 2003, US News ranked Northeastern #1 for Best Co-ops/Internships. Employers from around the world participate in the program, providing an avenue for internships and post-graduation employment. Employers include top ranked international law firms, banks, and corporations, including many of the Fortune 500 companies such as Microsoft, Disney, and Raytheon. The co-op program enhances the theoretical classroom work with real world experience. Northeastern has many programs that are nationally recognized and respected as among the best. In 2007, the Princeton Review rated Northeastern as one of the top colleges in the Northeast. |
