Global Frontiers
At Northeastern we are proud to call ourselves a global university, full of diverse cultures, religions, and ideologies. By joining this LLC, you will gain a deeper understanding of both your own culture and that of those around you. This enriching experience will make you more comfortable traveling the world, for a study abroad, dialogue of civilization, or international co-op. We believe that being globally minded will make you a better citizen at Northeastern and at home in your community. Past programming includes international pop music night, ethnic cooking demonstrations, cultural excursions around Boston and beyond, and even a trip to the United Nations!
Interested in learning a new language? Join our Global Frontiers Language Interest Floors, where special programming around learning languages will occur. On these floors, we will bring in student organizations like NU Calls and faculty members to assist students in their language skills development. Bienvenue!
"Though I am an International Affairs major, I admit that I often have to run to a map when my neighbors tell me where they come from. I have never had friends from Bangladesh, and previously thought that Kazakhstan was a fictional place that Borat called home. In the Global Frontiers LLC, I can learn about the cultures of my friends-which are incredibly different from mine. I go for dim sum with people from Hong Kong and discuss politics of the Middle East with my roommate from Dubai. The building is a tolerant atmosphere where all cultures are accepted and discussed, and I love to call this place home!" - Hana Nobel Class of 2013
