Message: [QUOTE="UConnRock, post: 4279115, member: 1024"] Northeastern had to limit their incoming class to 2500 students rather than the Norman 3500 due to the large admission error the previous year. Also, the concept that they “force” freshmen to start their college career abroad is a bit harsh. NU has a different approach to college, having the students do 2 or even 3 semester long co-ops that are part of the students transcript. Hence, they have thousands of students leave campus in the Spring for co-ops. Rather than have empty dorm rooms they fill the rooms with the freshmen that were overseas. It is appealing to some, but not to others. The co-op program is one of the reasons NU has become so popular. [/QUOTE]
