A private Northeastern University was founded in 1898. Today it is a global research center with worldwide fame and an innovative approach to education.

There is an opportunity to independently determine the duration of study at a bachelor's degree - 4 or 5 years (differ in the range of possible practices and internships).

What advice do you have for potential applicants before applying to US universities?

Choose a university that really suits you - do not try to "adjust" yourself to a prestigious or ranked university. If you are not sure of your capabilities, do not dwell on the first top 10: believe me, many opportunities of less prestigious universities will be able to give you what you need to develop and become a specialist.

All 1st and 2nd year students must live in residences on the campus located in the university town of Boston. The university has its own metro station (for short, it is usually called T): after leaving here, you immediately immerse yourself in a student atmosphere, friendly and academically saturated. All first-year students live in a single community. Living Learning Communities are not only joint comfortable living conditions, but also general activities that allow you to quickly join the academic new environment and find new friends and like-minded people. Rooms are usually 1-2-bedded, but classrooms for self-preparation, living rooms and game rooms are common.

Northeastern University offers a wide range of special services for students: 24/7 security (all rooms and accommodations are accessible via electronic maps and passes), medical care and insurance. You can order transportation for a later time (transfer or escort), an emergency telephone help line is available 24 hours a day. Alcohol in the territory is not strictly prohibited - but, of course, within reasonable limits and only for adult students.

High school students (from 3 courses and above) can stay in residences, and may choose another accommodation option, for example, apartments. This is a comfortable, fully furnished and equipped apartment with the necessary equipment for several students with private bedrooms and common areas (bathroom, kitchen, living room). There are options for accommodation of economy, standard and premium class - the university staff will select the best option for your requests and financial opportunities. Most students choose apartments in developed popular areas: 780 Columbus, Loftman Hall, Davenport Commons, and West Village G and H.
