How is this co-op different/better?

Not hating at all, just trying to make real life decisions. I hear often how NEU’s co-op program is “amazing” or “superior” and the reason people get jobs. How is it different than any other school? I’ve put together a matrix of schools and done research. In Boston and other areas, they all (except one) have co-op programs, some required, others optional, and they have systems in place to work around that schedule. They all (except two) use Handshake, meaning all those students from all the schools are competing for the same jobs. Am I missing an aspect? Is it that NEU is louder about theirs and markets it better to prospective students but it’s essentially the same? Thanks for your thoughts.
