Hi my twin sons are considering attending NEU and we haven’t yet visited (we lived in Boston and I went to NEU many years ago but we currently live in TX) and I wondered about the best residence halls for freshman that are not only safe but not so much of a huge party scene - any thoughts?
You don’t pick your residence hall at Northeastern, you pick an LLC. The LLC’s are placed into buildings based on the number of students who select each, so LLC’s move around frequently. The buildings are all more or less the same though for freshman year, so there really isn’t a problem there. All of them are safe and within the same 3-5 minute walking radius.

The music and business LLC’s are the only ones I would say possibly lean towards partying, though every residence hall will have a mix of people. There’s really not much partying in dorms given the proximity to RA’s anyways.
