Dorms: the Good, the Bad, the Ugly

Living on campus at northeastern is really a breeze. For the most part, on campus housing is extremely nice, though may sometimes be a little small, but is all extremely close to campus. For freshman, they even have movers who unpack your car on the first day and help you bring all of your stuff into your dorm. As a freshman, living in International Village is probably the nicest, but you do not really get the "freshman feel" because it is located on the other side of campus. On campus housing can be expensive, but you have to remember you are in Boston, and living off campus is just as expensive as well. The lottery system after your freshman year is quiet annoying, and sometimes leaves you to not be living where you would like but no matter where you end up, even if its not with your friends, you know you'll be somewhere that is relatively nice.

Boston Is Cold.

Boston is freezing. During the winter it seems as if every one is hibernating. When spring finally comes around and we have one sunny day, it seems as though EVERYBODY is outside and the campus is really hopping and wonderful. But the winters are really cold and long. They are really good at snow removal, so there aren't many snow days, but you definitely need a very warm coat.
