Application Process

Review the following residential housing information and complete the steps below.

  • Complete the housing application online at www.myNEU.neu.edu.

  • You will be asked to accept the terms and condition of the 2009 – 2010 Residence Hall and License Agreement before being allowed to complete your housing application.  (This agreement commits you to live on campus for specified number of semesters.  Failure to sign this contract prior to or upon check-in at your residence hall may lead to cancellation of you or housing privileges.)
  • Answer the roommate compatibility questions as honestly and as accurately as possible, as they will be used to determine your roommate assignment(s).  Please note you can change your questions on your compatibility up to May 1st.  If you are changing your roommate request, you must inform Housing & Residential Life in writing at housing@neu.edu.  For freshman beginning in September, these changes must be received by May 1, 2009.

Housing Requests:

  • Roommates:  You may request a specific roommate by providing both their names and myNEU user-name on your housing application.  If you are requesting more the one roommate, please e-mail housing@neu.edu with the student’s names and NUID#.  We will need the roommates to do to the same, so we know that his is a mutual request.
  • Theme Housing for Freshman: You may request residence in Living Learning Community ( LLC, see information by linking to "Living and Learning Experience" and if you have additional questions, please e-mail LLC@neu.edu   If you are requesting both a roommate and a theme hall, the roommate must also select and be eligible for the same theme hall; otherwise, the roommate choice will take precedence over the theme hall request.
  • Accessibility:  Please indicate any need for accessible housing on the housing application (examples include wheelchair access, lowered counter/desk heights, and strobe light alarms), and submit supporting documentation to the Disability Resource Center or University health and Counseling Services via the Housing Accommodations Committee.  For more information about special requests and Housing Accommodations, please click here.
