<p>Hi I just got accepted to the Honors Program at Northeastern! I read that freshmen live in International Village. Is there any site that has pictures and/or information regarding the dorms there? What are they like? How big? How many people? etc. Are you guaranteed housing there your first year?</p>
<p>Also, the letter said that Honors classes are smaller. How many students do they contain exactly?</p>
<p>Any other Honors info would be greatly appreciated as well!</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Yeah, I’d like to know too! Congrats Ny0rker btw! Also, I think I saw you in the Fordham or Case forums possibly?</p>
<p>possibly in Fordham… i applied ED to Cornell but was rejected so this acceptance is so nice =]</p>
<p>Omg, me too! That’s where I must’ve seen you! This definitely helps the Cornell blow, lol. I might try to transfer in or for grad school, but idk how I feel about giving them my money now even though I still love it there.</p>
<p>yeah I was really depressed for a while but now i’m starting to get over the rejection/have moved on.</p>
<p>Yeah, same. Not even deferment, I was a real mess, I guess we’re failures, ha. Are you going to try again at some point? And they were really sporadic with decisions this year. I saw a 2350 with 3 800 SAT IIs get flat our rejected while an 18-something got in. <em>sigh</em> What did you apply for? I applied for gov CAS.</p>
<p>decisions were ridiculous this year… i’m probably not going to try again unless i am very unhappy with my school choices/am unhappy next fall wherever I am. at cornell I applied to AEM and at northeastern, business administration.</p>
<p>congrats on the honors program at NEU too!
do you have a new top choice now?</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m thinkin BC, NYU, or U Chicago. Obviously Yale too but not really since I don’t have a prayer, lol. How about you?</p>
<p>BC and NYU… and Penn but not really since I don’t have a prayer either LOL</p>
<p>I’m applying to Penn too! I have this huge crazy list b/c now I’m paranoid after Cornell and I figure someone has to take me, right? lol, and man we sound like twins! We have like all of the same schools and same first choices, haha.</p>
<p>What are are the pros and cons of International Village and West Village F?</p>
<p>got in too</p>

<p>I am a transfer student living in their now so i can only tell you what i know. Yes the honors classes are smaller i think around 15-35. All first year and second year students are guaranteed housing once they place the housing deposit. There is over 1200 students in International village, so its pretty big but its mixed with international students, transfers and upperclassmen. I don’t know much about West village but they are great dorms also. Though you dorm is shared with a group of 4-6 students in doubles. IV is only singles and doubles so you have a private bathroom. If you remain in honors you will eventually move to west village but either one is nice.</p>
<p>@transfernkid, do you know anybody who transferred into the honors program after being at northeastern? i know that its possible, but have you ever heard of anyone doing that and know how hard it is to do</p>
<p>@ whoopfer I have not met any transfer yet that was accepted or applied to the honors program. It is definitely possible and i am considering it when i am a junior. I think if you are a transfer trying to apply you can ask them to use your grades from your previous school to apply or from high school including sats,etc. you have to have an average of 3.6 to get in(reccs)and I think you also have to be there for one full semester. Check the honors site For more details.</p>
<p>Apparently all those admitted to the honors program are in the 10% of the incoming class.</p>
<p>look at post 10 on here, saying not to live in International Village… </p>

<p>^I live in IV and have had no problems at all. I even go further into Roxbury for community service and have yet to have any issues. There are tons of security guards and whatnot all around. I don’t know what’s up with all the fear mongering lately. Don’t just go by what I say-- see if anyone else <em>who’s actually living in IV</em> agrees.</p>
<p>Wait, what’s so bad about IV?</p>
<p>nothing is bad about IV. The Columbus ave area isn’t quite as nice as West Village or Symphony, so some people claim it’s not very safe. But nearly all the NU students that post here will tell you that it’s a safe area and that it’s not going to be a problem.</p>
<p>But IV is solid, the building is badass, it has a ridiculous dining hall, and a gym. Plus I’d love to have a Peet’s coffee connected to where I live.</p>
