Campus housing at Northeastern is pretty great. The University uses a lottery system weighted by seniority. Students are guaranteed housing for three years, but if you get your housing form and deposit in on time, you should have no problem getting housing for your entire time there. After freshman year, you can decide whom you want to room with by entering the lottery with your friends. A few weeks after that, you will be assigned the same lottery number as those you want to room with. The lower the number, the better the housing. Lottery numbers are assigned randomly, but if you are a middler—the year between your sophomore and junior years—you will be given a better number than a sophomore because of your year at NU. The size of the residence hall is something to consider. Living in a smaller dorm provides a less-overwhelming setting than larger freshmen residence halls, but larger halls offer more opportunities to meet other students. If you are an honors student, you will spend freshman year in Parcel 18, which opened in 2009. Students Speak Out

Dorm life varies greatly. Freshman dorms that rock are Stetson East and West, obviously because they have the cafeterias. Speare is good, too. The rest are too far away, so people forget about them. The best upperclassman dorms are all of the West Villages.

The dorms are all pretty decent. I was in a forced triple as a freshman, but it's not much different than most of the other schools I've seen. Upperclassman housing is excellent—it's spacious and safe! My one suggestion is to obey the dorm rules—they are very important. Freshman year, the guys directly above our room left their window slightly open over spring break, so temperatures plummeted, and the pipes in their room froze, burst, and flooded their room, our room, and the room directly below us. It was miserable—I had to come back early from spring break to deal with it. However, NU was very responsive and helpful with the problem. They reimbursed me and my roommates for everything that was damaged in the flood and had our room fixed—new carpet, furniture, and walls—and good as new by the time classes resumed. So, read the posters and the fliers, and follow the rules.

You can't pick your dorm as a freshman, but after freshman year the nicest dorms are in West Village. Davenport also has really nice dorms, but they're really far away from everything.

After freshman year, you have the opportunity to live in West Village, which is pretty much like living in the Hyatt. They're all relatively new and are suites. It's tough to get in, but if you get a good lottery number, there really is no other choice.

West Village dorms and Davenport dorms are probably the best. Willis is decent, and I think all the other ones suck. |
