<p>@annonymousguy: They may be showing you the biggest room available to make you subconsciously think all of them are like that But I know a considerable amount of non-handicapped people ended up in handicapped rooms because there were so many extra. I’m not quite sure of the size comparison with Stetson dorms… there is a sink in the IV rooms, so they have to bigger to accomodate for that. I will say that the walls in IV are paper thin (you can hear everything in the neighboring rooms and when you take Command strips down they tear the whole wall off), whereas the other dorms have concrete walls.</p>
<p>@moir3241: Honor kids party pretty hard. My floor and another floor have gotten quite a reputation, which has apparently concerned the RDs.</p>
<p>@Ny0rker: Students must clean it themselves and provide their own toilet paper. I think we got 2 cheap rolls of toilet paper to start us off, but on more than one occasion we have forgetton to buy more TP and had to go a weekend without it… (and we’re girls, so I think we’re a bit better at at least trying to remember to buy it lol).</p>
<p>hahhah yess I was actually kind of nervous because my boyfriend goes to UConn and is in the honors program and he started of the year pretty slow and boring. I’m so psyched about being so close to Boston!</p>
<p>Does anyone know if there’s a thread/website for roommate finders? Does Northeastern allow you to request roommates or are you randomly assigned?</p>
<p>“I will say that the walls in IV are paper thin (you can hear everything in the neighboring rooms and when you take Command strips down they tear the whole wall off), whereas the other dorms have concrete walls.”</p>
<p>All of the walls? This could be a big problem for me, because I was planning on bringing speakers (like, floorstanding loudspeakers, 3 feet tall) to the dorm! Are the neighboring dorms going to be really pis*ed off? I wasn’t planning on blasting it, but the way you describe it makes it seem that even a moderate volume would bother neighboring dorms.</p>
<p>also, i’m still a little confused on the scheduling of class, co-op, and vacation. how does that work exactly to graduate in 5 years? how many co-ops do you do? can you do less? more? how can you study abroad and fit everything in? how many semesters of class do you need? </p>
<p>thanks blinkangel for taking the time to answer all of our questions!</p>
<p>am wondering if you know if the none/some/majority of the pharmacy students are living in the IV and are part of the honors program… </p>
<p>… or did these pharmacy students choose to live in a separate building, not part of honors? do you know if there is a building specifically dedicated to pharmacy students or health science students in bouve?</p>
<p>@annonymousguy: I’ve gotten so used to the noise, Idk if it really bothers anyone that much anymore. I mean, in order to hear my suitemates talking, my room has to be totally silent. I don’t mean to make it sound TERRIBLE, but it’s something you might want to consider. But I like not having concrete walls :)</p>
<p>@Ny0rker: I think there are sample schedules you can find online. Lots of people end up taking Summer I and/or Summer II classes starting sophomore year I think. It greatly depends on your major though. I think the average number of co-ops that people do is 2, but I think that like all Engineers do 3. Again, the number depends on your major. And study abroud is just like being on campus studying. So it’s not difficult to fit that in at all, I don’t think (again, I’m a freshman, so I don’t exactly have much experience with this yet).</p>
<p>@xteatime: I don’t really know many Pharm students. I think there are some in the honors program living in IV though. I think the LLC is in Stetson West. Sorry I don’t have more info!</p>
<p>If my friend isn’t in the honors program, can he still live with me in IV, if I request him? He’ll be the only person in the school that I’ll know, but I don’t think he’ll make it into the honors program.</p>
<p>@annoymousguy: No, non-honors students cannot live in honors housing. He could request to be in the Creative Expressions or International LLC to be in IV, but he would not be able to room with you. And when you’re an upperclassman and want to live in West Village F with him… that’ll be a no go as well.</p>
