One thing you wouldn't learn about on a campus tour: there's a place on Northeastern's campus that I call "the magic spot." When you stand on the center brick of the quad area and face Churchill hall, due to the placement of the buildings, when you talk, you can hear an extreme echo, but no one else can. It's pretty cool.

...and, you know, the co-op program is great because you can have real-life experience and you'll have a really great resume upon graduation. AND you can make sure you like what you're majoring in before you spend lots and lots of money on your education.

Also, location! There are over a hundred colleges and universities in the Boston/Cambridge area; every September, hundreds of thousands of college students flock in from all over the world. It's a great place, and Northeastern University is right in the middle of it.
