Northeastern is located in the heart of the city, it is very busy and is highly convenient to public transportation, supermarkets, restaurants, the Prudential Center mall and other necessities. It is very safe, there are on campus police and there are quite a few parking lots and garages surrounding the campus. Cost can vary, but Northeastern has a Off Campus department that post listings from landlords and real estate agents to help students find exactly what they are looking for according to their budget.
