Northeastern University Housing Housing Application & Selection

INCOMING FIRST YEARs

First-year students live in one of our popular Living Learning Communities (LLCs), themed housing environments that connect students of similar academic and personal interests. LLCs are a great way to enrich your academic experience outside the classroom and to form long-lasting bonds with other students who share the same values and enjoy the same activities. After your first year, you are guaranteed university housing if you follow any application and deposit deadlines for your full four years.

APPLYING FOR FIRST YEAR HOUSING

Once you have set up your myNortheastern and paid your enrollment deposit (which includes the housing deposit) you will be able to fill out the Housing Application under Self Service and Housing Online. It can take 24-48 hours from when you pay your deposit to have access to Housing Online. As long as you have paid the enrollment deposit by May 1 you will be able to fill out the housing application. Housing Applications are due by May 7 and can be edited until that date.

Assignments for first year students are done in enrollment deposit date order.
