<p>Minoring in CS requires a total of 5 classes: 2 fundamentals classes and 3 electives. (That’s what I’m doing.)
Instead of a double major (all of the requirements for both majors), you might consider a dual major (combining the requirements and taking about 2/3 from each, I think). What that requires varies by major. I’d check the requirements on the registrar’s website: [Undergraduate</a> Catalog 2012-2013](<a href=“http://www.northeastern.edu/registrar/courses/welcome1213.html]Undergraduate”>http://www.northeastern.edu/registrar/courses/welcome1213.html)
Once you get access to the Degree Audit on MyNEU, this also shows you very specifically the requirements for each combined major.</p>
<p>My main recommendation: get started on this early. I didn’t figure out that I wanted to do CS until later, and only had space in my schedule to do the minor.</p>
<p>Regarding the email about self placement into freshman year english, which did you choose (just the one semester or introduction for one semester and the class next semester) and how managable was it? I did not take honors or AP english, just regular college prep 12th grade english.</p>
<p>Not sure if everyone has this worry, but yes, im kind of scared of not being able to handle the workload. How was your transition from high school to college? My high school in particular wasnt too heavy on work and im worried it might be a rude awakening.</p>
<p>My daughter is an engineering major (though not ChemE). The AP course info available on the website wasn’t all that helpful. At orientation your advisor will tell you exactly what you can get credit for, based on your scores and major. Given that, she got credit for Chemistry, including the lab, and the first semester of physics and lab. The AP credits have given her more room in her schedule for other classes. In other words, be patient - all will be explained during orientation.</p>
<p>Hi, parent of a new NEU student here. I’m wondering if these two offerings to NEU students are worthwhile. </p>
<p>The Husky card is $55 and supposedly saves you money dining around campus. Have students found that it does indeed save money?</p>
<p>About a week ago we got a flyer in the mail with some package deals for linens and other dorm room necessities/junk. Is this worthwhile? What’s with the weird mattress cushion? Is this a gimmick? And the thing that sounds like a bedside table? I don’t have the flyer with me so I can’t name them exactly the way the flyer did. We already have a set of long-length twin sheets. I washed my sheets rarely in college, and certainly never needed two sets. Just seems like something extra to store. But then they’ll gladly sell you extra stuff to store it in! Were there things in the flyer that were worth buying?</p>
<p>The linen stuff is pretty bad quality - skip it.</p>
<p>The student advantage card (which is put on their husky card) is $55 for 5 years and pays for itself if you use it to get discounted Amtrak tickets - otherwise not worth it.</p>
<p>I concur on the flyer - they definitely try to oversell you. Just get what you need at Target or Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I was coming from halfway across the country and just had it shipped directly to school. And cheaper than what they’re selling in the flyer.</p>
<p>I got the Student Advantage card because of the Amtrak discounts. (That’s usually how I get to/from home.) It also has discounts for things like Lenovo which are pretty good. I’m not sure about saving money on food with the card, though. I’ve never heard that. I would look on their website and see what they have discounts on to see if it would be worth the money in your case. (If I recall, I think I also used it to get free shipping on my bedding from Target, but I don’t know if they still have that one in there.)</p>
<p>Depends - in IV you get your own thermostat but it does something funny where it balances the temperature in your room with the one attached (through the bath) so you could put it up hot and if your neighbor puts hers down cold it will do something in the middle.</p>
<p>It will be higher than at other schools. Even if you take 4 four credit classes - you have to take a freshman one credit class (if honors you have to take another honors one credit class). If you are engineering or architecture or science you will most likely have lab classes which add credits. So min 17 but can go to 19 easily.</p>
<p>The maximum credits for the tuition rate is 19, but this doesn’t include “free” 1 credit classes like music courses. I’ve taken 20 credits every semester except 1 where I had 3 labs and my co-op class. The university tried to charge me extra, but then they said this was a mistake and my scholarship should cover it. At a lot of schools, 19 would be way too much, but things are structured a little differently here, and it’s definitely doable.</p>
<p>HI guys, so I just got my housing assignment and I’ll be living in LP-NU at Douglass Park Tremont. I heard that it’s an apartment style place. Has anyone here ever lived there? I was just curious if the college provides wifi etc. like in the dorms?</p>
<p>In most apartment style dorms, they do, but Douglass Park is a leased property (hence LP), which means the university doesn’t own the building, and in think they don’t provide cable and Internet. I would take a look on the reslife website for more info about leased properties.</p>
