Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Prior to the start of each academic year or semester, NU students can apply for a parking permit online. Permit applications are usually available sometime during the week prior to the start of each semester or quarter. It seems to be a universal truth among students who attend big-city schools that a car is an unnecessary and expensive endeavor on campus. Not only is parking ridiculously expensive, but also your car will invariably wind up towed, ticketed, abused, and worn down.

A car can nonetheless be a luxury to have a quick way out of town. Also, you’ll find that some poor carless student who lives in your vicinity may be quite willing to pay for your gas—or even more—for a ride home. Overall, though, the permit prices are just way too high, and the parking fines, which you’ll most certainly rack up, will be billed to your tuition account. So, if you have to take a car to school, park in the garage or enter the campus grounds at your own risk.

Finding Spots

finding parking near the campus is very difficult, its located in boston so the city itself isn't very good with parking

Parking Sucks

Northeastern offers lots but charge a lot to keep your car there for the semester. Around the city, some spaces can be found but there is always the risk of parking tickets. Some off campus apartments on Mission Hill have decent parking.

Variety of Lots, but Expensive

a very small minority of students have cars on campus, but there are quite a few different options for parking. Since its Boston, a car is pretty unnecessary
