Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Northeastern is efficient at keeping students safe, which is certainly a good thing. In order to ensure safety, rules and regulations must be put into effect, and the University certainly doesn't mess around with its policies. Considering the fact that the campus is located in the middle of Boston, it's nice to feel secure and know that you are well protected by the University. 

RAs are usually not looking to get any students in trouble; however, most do take their job seriously, and if you're having a loud party in your room or get caught drinking underage, you will face consequences. With that being said, you will not have to worry about intrusions from RAs or Northeastern security, unless you are doing something wrong and being obvious about it. Mostly, all cases where students are punished by the school are completely warranted. The Boston Police Department usually has no patience for students from any school, and officers will shut down parties that are loud and cause disturbances to neighbors.

Fire Hazards

It seems like EVERYTHING is a fire hazard. We're not allowed to hang Christmas lights up in our dorms or set up tents. Although they allowed the Christmas lights during the holiday season.

Disrespected by Real Cops, NUPD Take It Out on Us

NUPD, while a necessary force on campus (Northeastern is close to some sketchy areas) usually has nothing better to do than bust kids for drinking and smoking. Punishments at Northeastern are very severe, for instance even through marijuana is decriminalized in MA and Boston cops don't care about it, if NUPD catches you, you're automatically on academic probation, and will be suspended next time you get in trouble for anything. Be smart, don't smoke in a freshman dorm room, you will be caught, and be smart about drinking as well

Safe and Strict

I constantly see in the Northeatern's newspaper about people being reported to school officials for underage drinking and drugs. I am assuming things are handled.

Visitation Policies

You are allowed to have up to three guests in your room, if you are living in on-campus residence halls. You must sign in your guests with the proctor at the front of your building each time you enter the residence hall. This kind of security protects students from strangers and intruders.
