Q: How do I find housing in my host country?
The housing situation abroad varies according to location. For example, some companies offer their employees housing while others do not. In many cases we put students in touch with past students for helpful tips regarding housing resources.

Q: What support do I have while I am abroad?
All students will go through a pre-departure orientation session conducted by the international co-op office. Orientation sessions will go over essential information including logistics, safety, insurance, and travel. Northeastern University provides all students with SOS International Assurance. In addition to the services offered through SOS, you are always welcome to get in touch with your international co-op counselor. Our team is here to support you but you are also expected to act wisely and be responsible in your host country!
