"My program is wonderful but a lot of the core classes have little to none to do with my concentration, though I have wonderful professors that help me through it. It is extremely affordable with financial aid compared to similar programs around the Boston area. I have made friends in my area and have had much support from teachers and staff."

"This pros of this program are that it is accelerated, highly competitive, has great clinical placements, a high NCLEX-RN pass rate, wonderful technology for the labs and helpful faculty. The cons are that it is expensive and not much financial aid is offered. No scholarships from this program are offered."

"Pros are many, from leaning new knowledge to practicing it in reality. So, it is not just learning it, we also Do it. The instructors are all patient and helpful in anytime. Besides, they replied and answered our questions immediately. We learn how to initiate a project, plan and execute it, and monitor it, also how to close a project. It is not limited in a certain field, but very broad. About cons, the scale of each class is a little big."

"The program is great. The staff are so supportive. The only problem that I have is with student employment and also getting a works study is so hard even as a research assistant."

"My graduate program includes a lot of classes that are not necessarily relevant to my career. I would like it if there were electives in my program instead of being forced to take the same classes my entire graduate career. I have had both great and horrible teachers. They've all been great people, but one of them in particular was not good at teaching at all. This is my first year at this school so my attitude could improve, but I feel like less of a part of the student body and more of a way for the school to drain me of money. There are also not enough scholarships and grants available for graduate students. My parents are not helping and I have to pay completely through loans that I will spend over a decade paying off."

"My graduate program is located in Boston, which has some of the best hospitals around. The school has set up some of the best clinical placements for its students, and I think the program is worth the money. The faculty seem genuinely interested in helping students!"

"Good school, but much better for full time students. Administration seems to care more about their well being than the part time students who work during the day. That being said it is still a great MBA program and I would recommend it to most people looking for a good MBA degree program to get involved with."

"Has a great network with local and global companies for co-op opportunities. Extremely helpful faculty and availability is always there. Needs more courses in several of it's concentrated Engineering department. The graduate co-op program is small but I believe it will grow and become better for future grad students in the near future."

"Good school with good people, but not highly diverse in terms of walks of life. Also, if you are part time and work for a living while attending classes be prepared to be brushed aside for most of what the school has to offer. They don't provide scholarships for part time students, nor do they provide career placement opportunities as well as they do for full time MBA students. Other than that they are a good school, but REALLY expensive."

"Northeastern University School of Continuing Professional Education has provided me with the flexibility to earn my graduate degree while working in the field of communications as a seasoned professional. I have been able to study with a myriad of students from all types of backgrounds on a global scale. Beyond the study of communications I have learned business negotiations, digital media, cultural organization management, and leadership skills. The professors are outstanding and I have certainly gained extensive insight on a multitude of topics in communications that will assist in my goal to profess as well. Thank you! Leah Luddine"

"Northeastern University is a huge campus, with a wide-range of majors and programs that scatter across the United States and travels globally abroad. The school is known for successful co-ops, and fellowships that promote growth to all around the world. However, there are important things to take into consideration before enrollment: finances. Although Northeastern's professors, and programs are intellectually challenging, it is also financially difficult. When I first enrolled in 2010, the tuition was 50,000 a year. Almost three years later, and it is close to 60,000 a year. Many of my peers, including myself, have worked diligently throughout our high school years in order to have more scholarship opportunities available to us. Sadly, a great number of students are pulling out excessive amounts of loans in order to pursue our dreams. If you can afford the school, every cent is worth the knowledge bestowed upon you. If you are somewhat in the same situation as myself and many others with finances being the main obstacle that provides fear within yourself to take this kind of risk, live within your means and pursue education where the faculty do everything they can to ensure that you are apart of the college community with prestige."
