Accomodation

As a Northeastern student, you'll have access to a variety of university housing. First-year students beginning in the fall term live in one of our popular Living Learning Communities (LLCs)—themed housing environments that connect students of similar academic and personal interests. LLCs are a great way to enrich your academic experience outside of the classroom and to form long-lasting bonds with other students who share the same values and enjoy the same activities.

• Residence Halls
  • Most new students will share a room with one or two other students in traditional, co-ed residence halls that house between 75 and 700 students. Two of the larger halls each offer a dining hall and common study areas.
• Apartment Complexes
  • The majority of upperclass students are housed in apartment-style residences at 780 Columbus, Loftman Hall, Davenport Commons, and West Village G and H. There are economy, standard, and enhanced rooms to accommodate students of all financial circumstances.
• Off-Campus Housing and Support Services
  • Students who do not live in university housing are considered off-campus students. Off-Campus Housing and Support Services offer information, resources, and materials regarding off-campus student living.

Scholarships

• Students who register within the first week of registration opening could qualify for a generous $1,000 scholarship.
• We kindly request that you reach out to admitted students to ensure they are aware of this opportunity. This initiative applies to all colleges and programs, including Master's, Graduate Certificate, Bachelor's Completion, Undergrad Certificate, and Professional Doctorate programs. This initiative is applicable from June 6th to June 30th, 2024. Additionally, students who enrolled after May 20th and have not yet registered are also eligible to participate.

Winter/Spring (January) 2025 Scholarship Update

• All scholarships are applicable to Masters and Grad Certs only
• The 5% Global Learner Award is added to student records at time of application submission
• The 2% + Free Grad Learning Enrichment Badge will be applied after add/drop date
• The 15-20% January 2025 Tuition Scholarships (Seattle, Silicon Valley, Oakland only) are added in Slate after the student has been admitted but before their award letter has been released
• These scholarships are set up to max out at a total combined scholarship value of 50% - so if someone comes through the system with combined value at 40% already, they will only get 10% of the campus scholarship to max them at 50%.
• These scholarship offerings are NOT deferrable to another term.
