<p>Interior (You'll find some dorms/library/classroom/Student Center/etc.): I'll say right now- I was a bit hindered by the fact I was using a telephoto lens (instead of wideangle or macro, sorry!)</p>

<p>There might be some more photos, but it's 1 right now and i have work in the morning so im going to have to head off soon. Hope some of these helped</p>
<p>Comments:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>The T system is great and it literally goes right through the campus. This was my first time using it and it's really easy and efficient through Northeastern. It's like 3 stops to Boston Commons (a really big/nice park) and 9 to the harbor but they're really quick compared to BC. BC has 27 back to back stops using the green line that goes to it directly. That was pretty ridiculous because even though it wasn't that far away it took a while. The trains are really clean compared to NYC and not that crowded. You'll definitely want to use it for getting around. The street system for driving is pretty whack. Using a bike would be pretty good too I presume. </p></li>
<li><p>Northeastern actually resides in the heart of Boston and is in the middle of the city (unlike BC). Fenway park is an easy walk and that's awesome; Boston Commons is only a few stops by train away too. There's actually a park in between Fenway and Northeastern that I saw on the map i was using but i never saw it in person, and I like stuff like that. Scenery is good. Like I said earlier it's really efficient to use the T to get around because Northeastern is in the middle of Boston. The surrounding area is really good, it's not in the bad part of the city or anything. You DO lose a little bit of the traditional college campus feel. They've done the best they can to amend that by putting some nice walkways in between buildings and what not but there isn't that much that can be done otherwise because it's a pretty small campus. It could just feel like a group of buildings (although nicely put together and blocked off from the rest of the city). </p></li>
<li><p>The freshman dorms are really, really nice. They're clean and comfortable and they don't have that dark, gloomy air to them that other college dorms for freshman have. They had a nice atrium too with a pool table and foosball which was cool. All modern looking and what not. The building interiors look that way too, and so did the classroom that i went into. The tour guide said that on 50% of the classrooms were nice and modern looking though, so i don't know what the old style ones looked like</p></li>
<li><p>The first floor of the library was ok. As you went up though, they became less and less "modern" and had old styled desks which were kind of plain. I did like though that on some of the floors there were designated rooms for private or group study that you could rent out (free i assume) that were nice looking with big desks/shelves/dry erase boards</p></li>
<li><p>The Marino center was really nice with a bunch of floors surrounding a central atrium; i never went up though i wish i could have it was all a high tech gym. i never saw any stadium or courts or anything either cuz i couldnt go around it</p></li>
