Travel to Boston

As a new international student you are expected to arrive by the start date of your program stated on the I-20 issued by Northeastern, or on the DS-2019 issued by Northeastern or by your sponsoring agency/government.

When you plan your travel arrangements, it is important to keep in mind that you will only be allowed to enter the United States if:

  • you arrive no more than 30 days prior to the arrival date on your I-20 or DS-2019.
  • you do not arrive after the arrival date on your I-20 or DS-2019.

All international students will need to report to the ISSI at their scheduled Immigration Clearance during orientation.  Check the Orientation Schedule or the date and time of your session.

Getting to Campus on Your Own

It’s easy to get to campus from Logan Airport by either a taxi, or, if you don't have a lot to carry, by public transportation.

  • Taxis are readily available from all terminals at Logan Airport. You should expect the ride to the Northeastern campus to cost USD $35 or more.
  • The Boston subway (called the “T”) is also an easy way to travel if you are able to carry all your luggage. Take the free Massport shuttle to the subway stop called “Airport”. Take the Blue Line train inbound to the "Government Center" stop and transfer to the Green Line outbound “E” trolley to the "Northeastern University" stop. The cost is USD $2.00 per person.
