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.

Just Don't Get Caught...

On campus parties are few and reserved for the freshman/sophomore crowd. Getting away with things on campus isn't hard just don't be loud. If your not loud RA's don't care, and wont bother you.

Not Too Strict, Only When They Need to Be

Northeastern for the most part seems to stay out of a lot of things. Police monitor things on the weekends to look for out of control parties. Compared to other schools, the parties probably get broken up here a little more. People drink in the dorm a lot and never get caught. First offense of underage drinking you are reported to Office of student conduct, conflict and resolution (OSCCR) and i think they have some sort of meeting. I know someone who got caught and just had to do community service. It doesn't seem like people are getting caught left and right though.

Not Very Strict

I'm not sure if it is just my dorm but the entire second floor smells like weed. It is prevalent every time I walk into the dorm. There is not too much the RA's can do about it because it is so many rooms they can't pinpoint the exact rooms so everyone gets away with it. It sucks for the people who don't and have to smell it every day.

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.
