Colleges in Boston with the most working students?

Hi all, I'm looking at schools in Boston and ready to work part-time during college to cover extra expenses. Which colleges in Boston area are notable for having a lot of working students?

Boston is home to many colleges and universities where students often balance academics with part-time jobs. Here are a few to consider:

1. Northeastern University: Known for its co-op program, Northeastern integrates classroom study with professional experience in over 90 countries and across all seven continents. The co-op allows students to work full-time in their field of interest for six months, gaining valuable real-world experience and financial benefits.

2. Boston University (BU): Many BU students work part-time on-campus jobs. Between its 17 schools and colleges and central administration, the university employs a lot of student workers. Additionally, its vast network of internship opportunities in Boston allows students to gain professional experience while studying.

3. University of Massachusetts Boston (UMass Boston): As a public university, many UMass Boston students work part-time or even full-time to cover their costs. The school offers a range of on-campus employment and work-study opportunities.

4. Suffolk University: Suffolk encourages students to gain real-world experience while studying, thanks to its downtown location. The school's career services department helps place students in jobs and internships, where they can earn while they learn.

5. Bentley University: Known for its business programs, many Bentley students are employed part-time in internships or co-op positions relating to their field of study. The university's career services has a strong placement rate for its students in local businesses and corporations.

Remember, where you choose to go to school should not only be about the job opportunities but also the overall fit including your prospective major, campus culture, financial factors, among other considerations.
