What can I get involved in for business/finance at Northeastern and around it in Boston?

I am considering attending Northeastern University as an honors student in the business school with a dual concentration in finance and entrepreneurship.

What are the best things to get involved in at Northeastern? (professionally)

How about in Boston that is available to students including those at Northeastern?

Best student-involved finance companies/VCs/startups/funds?

Networking opportunities and organizations with MIT, BU, and Harvard students?

What else do you suggest to get “ahead of the game” in both professionally in finance an academically for graduate school?

Thanks so much!

Even if you can only answer one question, have a tangentially related opinion, or the thread is saturated with comments, please still leave your opinion/perspective! ?

I would post this in the Northeastern thread. You’re much more likely to get helpful responses that are from people with first-hand experience.

I’m not a business major but I know a bit of this:

Some of this you can find a lot better on the school’s website. Check out the undergrad club listings here:

There’s a few on-campus startup incubator type things, IDEA being the biggest. The often work with Scout and Sandbox on the design and tech side.

I don’t know of or can’t imagine something like this existing honestly. “Networking” is a lot more organic than planned, so when you co-op somewhere you will see students from there likely, or if you go to some business focused event (like when Forbes 30 under 30 happened in Boston in 2017: https://www.forbes.com/under30summit/2017/#3efe0d5c4733) where events were held on campuses all over the city.
