Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The facilities on Northeastern's campus get better by the year. The University places a large emphasis on appearance and makes sure the campus is always looking stellar. Almost every facility or building is equipped with plasma TVs and various forms of entertainment. The Curry Student Center is the perfect place for students to hang out and grab a bite to eat at any of the favorite eateries located on the ground floor, including D'Angelos, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Wendy's, and Freshens Smoothies. Also, on the ground floor, you will find afterHOURS, which serves as a relaxing study environment with its own Starbucks by day and a late-night dancing club or comedy show by night.

The library, also known as "Club Snell," is located right next to the student center and offers four floors of endless books and tables. The top two floors are "quiet floors," and the bottom two are for students who are working in groups or do not mind the noise. If staying fit is one of your priorities, the Marino Center is open almost all day and night. With two big floors of fitness equipment, three large basketball courts, and an indoor track that wraps around the gym, you should have no trouble keeping up with your workout routine. The Cabot Center has a large pool where the swim team practices, and there are times for students to swim during their free time, too. Some of the bigger events on campus (including concerts, educational programs, famous speakers, and fundraisers such as Relay for Life) are held in Matthews Arena, which is also where the hockey and basketball teams play.

So Many Options

Northeastern has facilities on campus that cater to the interests of all of the students. The Curry Student Center has a number of fast-food options, the center for student activities, an art gallery, the University bookstore, as well as a place for students to just hang out. The Marino Gym is a state-of-the art gym that has whatever gym equipment that students may want to use, including an indoor track for those who don't want to run on a treadmill, but don't want to freeze in the cold Boston weather. The newly renovated Cabot Physical Fitness center has an indoor field/track (the Cage) as well as a pool and weight room that is used by both varsity and non-varsity athletes. Northeastern has great facilities and is constantly trying to make them even better for students.

Gym

The facilities at Penn State are really good. There are different gyms on campus for basketball, volleyball, and weightlifting—all that the YMCA has to offer—and then some. The student union (the HUB) was newly renovated a few years ago and is very modern. There are fast food joints, places to study, convention rooms, an art gallery, and a record-breaking fish tank. It’s a very popular hangout.

Small but Mighty

Northeastern is a tiny campus but so cute and picturesque it is hard not to fall in love with it. Newly renovated dorms and fairly new buildings across campus make it a great place to live and learn. And the best part? It is smack dab in the middle of Boston, one of the most vibrant American cities!

Facts

"Green" Initiatives

NU is pretty committed to staying green. In fact, the school received an A- on the 2011 College Sustainability Report Card, the highest of any Boston-based university.

Favorite Things To Do

Curry Student Center is really the hub of student life on campus. When the weather is nice, a great place to hang out with friends is Centennial Circle. You can grab a spot on the grass, bring some food, and study for finals in April when it’s finally warm enough to go out without a coat. When it’s snowing, grab your gloves and build a snowman or have a snowball fight in Centennial Circle or Krentzman Quad!

Student groups host all sorts of different events during the week and on weekends, and you don’t need to be a member to attend many of them. There are two theaters that feature student performances and guest speakers such as Stephen Colbert and Bob Saget.
