Roommates

Hey does anyone at northeastern have advice about housing for freshman year? Are there places which are considered more preferable? What are good ways to get in? Side : Advice on finding a roommate? The facebook forums are sort of full of gross guys :confused:

If you are honors you will live in East Village. otherwise you choose a LLC and their locations have not been announced. I don’t believe that there is a GQ LLC.

Going random is the best bet. People choose roommates on Facebook based on personality, while a good roommate comes down to living habits usually.

I agree - use the roommate matching from the university (it uses a survey to match people based on living habits) instead of trying to pick someone out from Facebook. From my experience the results are generally better that way.

As the others have pointed out, you choose your LLC rather than your dorm building. The buildings that the LLCs are assigned to depends on things like interest, so they can move from year to year. Most of the buildings similar though (your typical dorm), so I wouldn’t worry too much about that.

Tom Sr. That was funny.

What are some questions given in the housing questionnaire?

what kind of music do you listen to, are you up early or stay up late, are you neat or sloppy - answer honestly!

These are the questions:

Hi everyone!

Could someone post an url to the roommate survey? I made my deposit a while ago and already filed my housing application, for which I also got an email acknowledgement.

I can’t find it anywhere on the myneu website


Thanks!

There is no URL - its on the myneu page in the housing area. Go back, you should see a link

That’s where I was looking for it too, it doesn’t show up for me though. There’s “Housing Online”, but when I click that, the options that pop up don’t include the survey either
 :-?

@Hegann00 the roommate survey is a part of the housing application. try to edit it and you’ll probably see that you missed it by accident

@Liloesq maybe it’s due to the fact that I’m a transfer, but turns out the survey wasn’t actually included in my housing application, and I also don’t have access to the application after completing it to change anything for that same reason. I ended up getting the questions by email instead and they are going to fill them in for me!

thanks though! :slight_smile:
