Best of Northeastern University

Very Exciting and Lots of Opportunities

I love going to school at Northeastern University in Boston. It is a vibrant city with lots of options and things to do. It's not too big or too small. Although some things can get a little expensive, there are always opportunities to do something! It is a student friendly environment with bars, clubs, shows, shopping, sports teams, and plenty of other activities! The campus environment itself offers a little less in the ways of doing things, but there are always events going on. As a member of Greek Life, I always feel like there are events going on. I would like it if there was a little more school pride on campus with regards to sporting events and overall attitude to get involved. But overall, Boston and Northeastern offers a great college atmosphere!

Everything Is 21+

Unless you feel like going to the movies every night, if you're not 21 you're probably not going anywhere. Bars, clubs, some pubs, and even bowling alleys have a very strict 21+ policy. Don't get caught with a fake ID anywhere near campus, it will come back to school authorities. Also, be very careful when attending parties if you're under 21, or if you're hosting a party for underaged students. If your party gets busted, you can get in serious trouble with the school. Select comedy clubs are 18+, I've always found them to be a fun and inexpensive Boston outing.

If you are 21+, the nightlife is great. There's a bar at every street corner, and you can be sure to catch a Red Sox, Celtics, Patriots, or Bruins game in any 1 of them. The best bars and clubs are by Fenway park, State Street, and the theater district. The best house parties are right off campus, and at BU and MIT.
