After much thought and a lot of college visits, Rebecca has made her decision. The thing is, I'm not sure that all of those college visits were necessary. It appears that Rebecca had actually made her decision when she was just under 3 years old! (See below)
So in case you're still wondering, Rebecca has been accepted into the Honors Engineering program at Northeastern University in Boston and she's taking them up on their offer. (She's turning down Tufts University, WPI, RPI, UNH, UMass-Lowell and UConn.)Northeastern has a lot of positives, but they're perhaps best known for their Co-Op program. Her degree at Northeastern should take around 5 years. Here's how Northeastern explains this program...
Co-op (short for "cooperative education") makes a Northeastern education richer and more meaningful, providing students with experiences at home and abroad that help them develop the knowledge, awareness, perspective, and confidence to transform their lives.
Our co-op program, founded a century ago, is one of the largest and most innovative in the world. Students alternate semesters of academic study with semesters of full-time employment in positions related to their academic or career interests: in business, health care, education, engineering and technology, the visual and performing arts, and public policy, to name a few.
Some 6,000 Northeastern students are on co-op during some part of each academic year. Students have the option pursuing up to three semesters of co-op experience.
Co-op is closely integrated with our course curriculum, our scheduling, and our advising system. A network of co-op coordinators affiliated with each college support students in preparing for and succeeding on their co-ops.
So Rebecca is officially a Northeastern Husky! We're very proud of her!
