Parcel 18?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Northeastern University

<p>I think I've finally chosen NEU Honors over Tufts, and I'm finally getting as excited about NEU as I was about it before (up until the day I found out about Tufts... until I realized that Tufts was in no way worth my family selling our home). Enough with the Tufts talk, on to NEU <3</p>

<p>One of the reservations I had about NEU was the fact that I never got to see where I'd be living as a part of the honors program, since Parcel 18 is not open yet. I know that I've heard West Village F is amazing housing, so will Parcel 18 be as good for the next set of freshmen? My mom thinks it'll be great since it's brand new. </p>

<p>What can anyone tell me (besides what's on the website) about Parcel 18? Are people really excited about it?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>While Parcel does not have the two bathrooms, full kitchen, living room etc, you do have a dining hall and gym in your building. You also have brand new singles which is pretty nice. Whenever I tell people I lived in F, they say “yea, but you didn’t have the true freshman experience.” I feel like in Parcel, you can have the traditional freshman experience while also having brand new dorms.</p>

<p>Honors freshmen will be leaving in a two doubles connected by a bathroom. There are communal kitchens on each floor, from what I’ve heard. As RedSox said, there is a dining hall downstairs. Only residents of Parcel can use the gym, which is definitely smaller than Marino, but still nice.</p>

<p>Sounds pretty nice!!</p>

<p>But I just realized something… I haven’t deposited yet… do I even have a chance of getting into Parcel 18? :/</p>

<p>^You probably still will, Parcel is massive. And if they split honors like the used to (West F and Kennedy), then I think the other option will still be nice. </p>

<p>But if you’ve really decided, make the deposit, the sooner the better! :D</p>

<p>I know, I gotta get on that! Haha.</p>

<p>Anyone happen to know how many honors students there are/will be in the freshmen class alone?</p>

<p>I know last year out of around 3,000 freshman, about 300 were in honors so I would assume it’s around 10% this year too.</p>

<p>parcel 18 is guaranteed for all honors freshmen so don’t worry about sending in your deposit immediately. </p>

<p>I just decided on NEU w/ honors too and still haven’t gotten around to paying my deposit :P</p>

<p>See you next fall! :D</p>

<p>do all honors students live in parcel 18 ??? can you choose another dorm</p>

<p>^Parcel 18 is not even open yet, so no one’s living in it currently :slight_smile:
I believe all honors students are guaranteed honors housing but can choose to live elsewhere. Hope that helps!</p>
