Hi!
I have two questions regarding ( am I using “regarding” correctly? hahaha) Northeastern University:
-How are Northeastern University’s dorms? (for a freshman)
-Is it possible to do co-ops the fisrt year?
Thank you very much!
- The dorms are pretty standard freshman year - classic doubles, good storage space but otherwise small. NEU housing after your first year is great though - full apartments with full kitchens / private bathrooms. If you're Honors, you get a really nice building with private bathrooms starting freshman year.
- No, you can start in your fourth semester or later - you need to have some sort of skills to actually be able to do your job on co-op, and going on co-op in your first year just wouldn't make sense. Almost everyone starts Spring Sophomore Year or Fall Middler Year, and they alternate classes and co-op until the final year.
Thank you again @PengsPhils !
Two more questions hahahaha ;
1)Do i get to chose which rooms i rather be in?
2)Which is the best kind of room (double , single, quadruple…)?
Thank you 
- I'm not sure what you mean here - you pick an LLC and they assign you a roommate. It's a good process overall that usually doesn't cause any issues. The LLC (Living Learning Community) will be the most important thing - are you familiar with those? If not, check them out here:

- Almost every room is a standard double - there are few, if any, quads, and the same with triples. There are some singles which believe you can request, but are hard to get. It's much easier to get a single after freshman year.
The freshman style dorms (Stetson East and West) are actually great for meeting people – especially if you are on one of the Living & Learning Community (LLC) floors like health sciences and engineering. DS graduated from NU in 2014 and still is close to a lot of kids he met during orientation and in the freshman dorms. GF lived in honors dorms which are nicer, but not as easy to meet as many people.
