<p>Hi!
I just found out that I got into northeastern and I was wondering about housing. What are the best residence halls and should I do a double or a triple? Just wondering what all the current students think about the dorms. </p>
<p>Thanks so much!</p>
<p>I’m not a current student, but anyway…
I’d definitely prefer a double. Just because it means a little more privacy, and only one roommate you might not get along with.
Unlike the other schools I’m applying to, I haven’t been able to find out much about the housing at NU online. Maybe I’m not looking in the right area. I reeeeaaaally want to live in a hall with a kitchen. It can be tiny, but is long as there is an oven and a stove I’m happy. Anything there??</p>
<p>You can’t choose where you live as a freshman. </p>
<p>The only reason to request a triple would be to save money… you’d definitely be sacrificing space and privacy. </p>
<p>Does Kennedy have a kitchen? If it does, I’m pretty sure it’s the only freshman dorm that does. But again, you can’t request which dorm you want to live in. Good thing about Northeastern though is that starting sophomore year, all the housing options (besideds IV) are apartment-style with kitchens.</p>
<p>Definitely go with a double. I’m pretty much best friends with my roommate and I don’t think that would be possible if it was a triple. In a triple, you’ll run into the situation of the odd one out, where one doesn’t fit in.
Although, as Blinkangel said, if you’re strapped for cash, triple is cheaper.</p>
<p>None of the freshman dorms have kitchens, not even the gorgeous IV. Not until sophomore year in the West Villages. :)</p>
<p>I personally live in Kennedy Hall and think it’s a great experience and definitely better than the generic ones (Stetsons, Speare, White, etc…) Almost all the rooms are suites so you’ll have a common room with a couple of doubles attached, along with your own bathroom! Of course no kitchen though, but really, the dining halls are only like a 2 minute walk and the food is pretty good there. </p>
<p>I don’t know much about IV, but I heard it’s really really nice. It has its on dining hall and gym. It’s a little far from campus. It’s not suite-style though so its all doubles and triples. </p>
<p>Here’s a link if you want more info on housing:

<p>Congrats on getting in!</p>
<p>I currently live in IV, and I couldn’t be happier. As mentioned above, we have a dining hall and a small gym on the second floor right in the building, which is very convenient. Plus, it’s not really far from the campus, you just have to walk through Ruggles station. I never have to walk more than, say, 7-8 minutes to a class.</p>
<p>Actually, White Hall has a small kitchen that students can use on the first floor.</p>
<p>NUVictor: Do you know if it’s possible to use this kitchen even if you live in another hall? Say, for the occasional birthday cake or homemade snacks? I prefer homemade stuff, it’s cheaper, healthier and tastes better. And fun to make 
Glad I have family in Boston, my aunt and uncle who happen to be chef and pastry chef :). That way I’ll always have access to a kitchen and delicious leftovers if necessary. But one on campus would be a lot closer.</p>
<p>You would probably only have access if you knew someone who lived in White who could sign you in.</p>
