<p>Thank you, that was helpful. </p>
<p>Just to make everything clear - it means that technically I live in Roxbury Crossing, not Boston? What is Roxbury, actually?</p>
<p>Roxbury is the neighborhood south-ish of Fenway/Back Bay, where campus is. You live in Roxbury, not Boston, but no one cares at all about the difference. Rumor has it that Northeastern paid the city of Boston in order to get a Boston zipcode (02115) because it looks better than Roxbury for incoming students.</p>
<p>i ordered something to be shipped to my dorm because it was supposed to be shipped next week. i just found out it got shipped today, will there be someone at my dorm to take the package and hold it until i get there?</p>
<p>they hold the packages for 30 days. so we are good.</p>
<p>Even if you live south of the orange line you can address your packages to Boston, MA. I accidentally told relatives it was Boston and I always got the packages and mail anyways. Just make sure you use the right zip code which is not 02115 south of ruggles.</p>
